Farm School Fridays
Real Farm Work. Real Learning. Real Fun.
Ages 8-13 | Fridays | Small Groups of 8 Students/Teacher Maximum
Get Your Hands Dirty While Your Mind Grows
Forget classroom walls – at Farm School Fridays, education happens in the fresh air with dirt under your fingernails and animals as your teachers. Your child will tie on their boots and dive into authentic farm work alongside our family & TEACHERS, gaining invaluable life skills while caring for our sheep, donkeys, chickens, and turkeys.
This isn't just a farm visit – it's real agricultural education where students take on genuine responsibilities and see the direct impact of their work.
This Autumn: Discover the Wisdom of Permaculture
Our fall sessions focus on the 12 Principles of Permaculture, exploring one principle each week through hands-on activities and real farm applications. Students will learn sustainable farming practices that work with nature, not against it – lessons they'll carry far beyond our farm gates.
What makes this special? Each class builds upon the previous week's learning, creating a comprehensive understanding of sustainable agriculture and environmental stewardship.
