Farm Tours

The Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology in coordination with the Department of Animal Sciences and Agricultural Education strives to provide a quality, learning experience not only for our college students, and for community school groups as well.

All tour groups are accompanied by a tour guide and anyone visiting the farm without a scheduled tour guide may be asked to leave the farm. We want everyone's visit to the farm to be safe and enjoyable.

Tours of the Fresno State Farm are normally available from early September through mid-May. The cost for attending a farm tour, as of September 7, 2018, is $3.00 per child (this includes any siblings that might also attend).

This page is dedicated to providing information on each of the animal units housed here on campus and to arrange scheduled tours for child groups wishing to visit our farm.

Requirements for Scheduling a tour:

• ALL children attending must be 5 or older.
• Group must consist of at least 12 students or the equivalent ($36.00).
• No stroller or wheelchair access on tours.
