Farm School


Child looking at chickensOur farm educational programs are intended to expose children and adults to real farm life, from our organic vegetable production to our heritage breed animals and sustainable practices. Classes meet at the farmstand. In the event of rain, we will hold classes either in a greenhouse or under our tent. Participants should wear farm appropriate clothes including closed-toe shoes or boots, clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, and wear sunscreen and bug spray. Classes are open to the general public.
  

 

Farm School for The Very Young (ages 3-5) introduces children to life on a farm. Each day will have a different theme such as chickens, sheep, pigs, soil, insects, and vegetables. We will do hands-on, age-appropriate activities such as visiting and feeding animals, planting and caring for a seedling, egg collecting, stories, songes and more. $65/session.

Farm School for Older Students (ages 5-9) gives students a hands-on opportunity to find out where their food comes from and how a farm operates. They will learn the role of animals on the farm and participate in feeding them. Some of the other activities include: planting seedlings, egg collecting, nature investigation, harvesting, farm-themed games and making a poster journal of their experience. $125/session.
