Farm Class Descriptions
"Grow with Me" Farm School
Summer session starts August 3
Fall session starts September 14
At Farm School, Little Farmers explore the living world through face-to-face interactions with our animal friends, nature-inspired crafts, stories, songs, and more. We begin each class in our PlayPen, where little farmers delight in their choice of dramatic, sensory, and messy play that promote curiosity, confidence, and compassion for the natural world. Then, we gather for a joyful community circle. Finally, we work together to care for our animal friends.

Through purposeful, sensory-rich chores, children will cultivate a deep connection to the living world around them.

Gardening & Cooking with Kids
Monthly on Saturdays at 10AM
Grow your food and eat it too! Each week, you and your little one will discover where food comes from by planting the "veggie (or fruit) of the day" and turning it into a delicious and nutritious snack! Then, we will feed our leftover produce to our animals, who will eagerly turn our waste into soil!
