Note:  This page was created after I (Tammy) spoke with a group leader about her group coming to the farm.  She had questions that I thought may be helpful if I place here in one place for the leaders.  I hope this helps.

 

Home school groups go about a visit to Hubb's Farm in a variety of different ways.  On these days, Hubb's Farm allows the groups to enjoy the farm as any other "open to the public" day.  Really the only difference is that there are scheduled times for the educational sessions.  Groups can attend those or not, it is up to the group.  Some groups want to do a wagon ride together, meet for lunch together, have a designated time for a group picture and more.  Wagon rides may have other guests on them; however, if you register a time, we will make every effort to make sure there is a wagon available at that time for your group.  

 

Below, we would like for you to register your group to provide us with some estimated infomation about the number of families that may attend and to request a group wagon ride at a specific time.  Then, as a group leader, you can let your group know that you have informed us you are coming and you can also tell them specific things about your group's visit to the farm.  You can register your group at this link  HOME SCHOOL GROUP HUBB'S REGISTRATION.  You may register group in advance of purchasing tickets.  Registering your group will give our staff a 'heads up" that a group is coming and it also provides us insight about activities that you would like for your group to do together.  Registering your group does not require a payment and it really is not a commitment, although we do ask if you register and then decide that the group can't come to please call us.  

 

Home School Days at Hubb's Farm are:

  • Days where we offer home school families discounted rates. 
    • 1 Parent/Teacher per family FREE
    • Ages 2 and older $12.95 vs. $13.95 in the Spring
  • We do not book other educational tours those days.  
    • NO Public Schools
    • NO Private Schools
    • NO Preschools
    • NO Academies
  • We offer educational sessions throughout the day.  Attendees can participate in as many or as few as they would like.  The times and farm location of the sessions will be posted at the farm the day of the event.  (included in price)
  • Hubb's Farm is open to the public those days, but normally not a lot of public attend these days.  The price for public $16.95

 

 

The farm is open from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM on Home School days.  Your ticket is good for the entire time.  You can arrive whenever you would like 10:00 AM or after and depart no later than 2:00 PM  

As a group leader I would ask each family to purchase their own tickets.  Let the families know that there is no need to purchase the tickets so far in advance.  We do not expect to sell out.  We have plenty of room and activities to accomodate large attendances.  We do not offer refunds unless we cancel the day and do not offer a makeup day announced in advance.  In case of extreme weather or events out of our control, we have a scheduled make up day.  The make up day will be Tuesday, April 16, 2024  

 

Some FAQs

  • Should families bring a copy of the NOI filed with the NC DNPE
    • It is not necessary for the families to bring a copy of the NOI.  We also recognize that if the child is in kindergarten, then the family probably does not have the NOI yet.  (I think that is correct) Anyway, I put it out there so that the general public knows that this is a home school event.  I figure it will deter non-home school families from purchasing the home school day tickets.  We do not check for the form.  ;-) 
  • Do all group families need to arrive at the same time?   NO
  • Lunch -
    • Hubb's Farm will have limited concessions available on those days, so we ask that you let your families know.  They are welcome to bring foods from outside. We have lots of picnic tables and mutliple covered shelters.   Tables are first come first serve.  We ask that you keep you lunches in the vehicle until you plan to eat.  We want the tables to be available for families to use and not appear that they are reserved by having lunch boxes, coolers, etc. stored on them while family are out playing.  
  • Is it possible for the group to schedule a wagon ride together? 
    • Yes, and it is helpful if we know in advance.  You can let us know by registering your group below. 
  • Do groups have to register? 
    • No; however, it is helpful for us in planning if you do. 
  • Does everyone need a ticket and when should it be purchased? 
    • Yes, everyone age 2 and older needs a ticket.  (unless you are the free parent/teacher)
  • Can home school families attend Hubb's Farm on days other that the home school date?
    • Yes, home school families are welcome to visit Hubb's Farm any day that we are open to the pubilc.  You would purchase the ticket for the appropriate date/time that you plan to visit and pay whatever the admission rate is.  
  • Are the home school discounted rates available on other dates?
    • NO, the home school date is the only date the discounted rate is offered during the Spring.
