🌺 Duarte Poinsettia Farm & Hilmar Cheese Company Day Trip
A seasonal Sunrise Recreation and Park District outing featuring poinsettia shopping, hosted lunch, a Hilmar Cheese Company tour, and roundtrip motor coach transportation from Rusch Park.
Start the holiday season with a cheerful day trip to Duarte’s Poinsettia Farm in Hughson, where guests can explore the family-owned greenhouses and browse rows of festive poinsettias and seasonal plants. It’s the kind of outing that blends a little shopping, a little sightseeing, and a little early holiday spirit into one easy excursion.
After the farm visit, the trip continues with a hosted lunch and cheesemaking tour at Hilmar Cheese Company. The outing is organized through Sunrise Recreation and Park District and includes roundtrip motor coach transportation, a tour escort, driver gratuity, and refreshments on the motor coach, making it a convenient, well-structured option for adults who want a seasonal trip without doing the planning themselves.
🕒 Pickup Time: Sunrise Recreation and Park District has not yet announced the official departure time for this trip. The outing is currently described as an afternoon/evening trip, with the Rusch Park pickup time to be announced the week prior.

Worth Considering: This trip stands out because it offers a complete seasonal experience rather than just transportation to a destination. With greenhouse browsing, lunch, a cheese-company tour, and motor coach amenities built in, it feels especially well suited to adults who enjoy organized outings with a comfortable pace.
Because the trip departs from Rusch Park and the exact pickup time is announced later, it may be wise for interested participants to register early and watch for follow-up information as the date approaches.
