Dear Event Planner:
Teams are often comprised of a group of individuals that are striving to
accomplish a shared goal. Some teams are successful, and some are not. The key to
creating a successful team, whether that team is comprised of 50 individuals or 10, is
to provide all team members with the opportunity to create effective relationships
with their peers based on communication and respect. The most effective way to
promote these necessary elements in a team is through team-building activities.
Team-building increases employee productivity, encourages shared leadership and
decision making, and allows employees to create meaningful relationships with their
co-workers. There is a direct link between the quality of a working relationship
between team members and the overall effectiveness of an organization/business as
a whole.
Here at Long Acre Farms, we strive to help you build a better team, which will
in turn, help you build a better organization/business. Our Farm is an authentic 3rd
generation farm and one of the leading agri-entertainment locations in New York
State. We are located only 20 miles from downtown Rochester and well worth the
trip from any location. The farm lends itself to providing the kind of environment
needed to take the focus off the day-to-day routine and we specialize in teambuilding activities. We will refresh your team’s spirits for a more productive
workweek and give your group an outing that will be discussed long after you return
to the office.
We value our customer’s time and believe in providing excellent value with
friendly staff, delicious fresh food, and plenty of exciting activities in a relaxed,
country atmosphere. Please take a look at some of our programs below and call me
to start creating your perfect event.
Sincerely,
Joan Allen

Teambuilding at Long Acre Farms
As you know, teambuilding can come in many forms: some very serious, some semi-dangerous, and some while
sitting in a lecture hall. While these all have their worth, teambuilding at Long Acre Farms is none of the above.
We focus on having fun, relaxing in a country setting, and communicating with others to accomplish your
objectives. Our teambuilding sessions can be custom designed by our Program Coordinator to fit your
company’s needs. Looking to build trust and communicational skills? Hoping to promote team-work? Our
programs are perfect for your needs!
Our teambuilding options:
Option 1: The Amazing Maize Maze
The maze is much more than a walk through a cornfield. There are only 5 others like it in
the entire country. It is a 5-acre puzzle with 2 ½ miles of pathways, 12 hidden mailboxes,
12 “Kernels of Knowledge”, great music piped throughout the field, two bridges, a tower,
lots of clues, and most important, teams of folks trying to find their way out. We believe
that teambuilding is a natural outgrowth of the maze experience. This program will begin
with a brief group activity and can end with a group debriefing.
Includes maze teambuilding, snack, drink, and souvenir
$15/person
Option 2: Wine Tasting Essentials
This program can be given on its own or as a wrap up to the maze teambuilding.
A member of JD Wine Cellars staff will lead you through an entertaining and
interactive tasting session. Includes JD Wine Cellars glass.
$6 per person
Add a hors d’oeuvre for $1.50/person
Option 4: New York vs. The World
In teams, the group will taste two different wines at each of 4 stations. One wine will be from New York State
and the other can be from any other wine making region in the world. Teams will work together to discover
which is which based on the New York State knowledge provided by the instructor. The team with the most
correct answers wins a prize! Includes tastings, JD Wine Cellars glass, snacks, prizes and learning materials.
