    his program is for children who are homeschooled, unschooled, or in other non-traditional school programs. We are currently offering two open-house opportunities this Spring for families to check out our Farm + Forest School Program.

Farm + Forest School is a nature, farm, and play-based agri-education program geared for kids ages 5-12 who are homeschooled, unschooled, or in other non-traditional school. It's the perfect opportunity to supplement your curriculum with weekly access to a working farm, acres of forest, and a variety of other natural resources!

 

During our weekly gatherings, our rhythms will incorporate topics such as botany, earth science, astronomy, and biology through story, arts/crafts, and exploration in the farm and forest. Each session will also focus on seasonal changes and lessons from nature.

 

Students will:

  • Learn to care for our chickens and goats

  • Learn to garden through the seasons by tending our Children's Garden

  • Learn about pollinators and other beneficial insects + birds

  • Spend time in our forest, meadow, streams, and gardens, which feature a variety of habitats rich with wildlife

  • Move their bodies and discover the joy of working with others on the farm

  • Play!

 

Supplies and snack are included, but students should bring their own lunch.

Our desire is for our kids programs to be accessible to all

please reach out for information about scholarship spots or sibling discounts.
