Book With Us!
For workshops, field trips, scout trips, and more!
We use our farm to provide a range of multi-sensory, age appropriate and fun learning experiences that give children a connection to and appreciation for the natural world around them. Through hands-on activities with our plants, bees, and chickens, we strive to develop in children a love of the outdoors that will last a lifetime.
We may also tailor our programs to meet curriculum or Scout badge requirements. Although our programming is typically geared towards children, we are happy to host adults and teens as well. We can accommodate up to 15 participants. Larger groups may be considered pending staff availability. School groups may be accompanied by 2-5 adult chaperones. Scout groups may be accompanied by 2 adult chaperones.
