Overview

We offer outdoor education on our working farm for ages 5+ from 10 am- 3pm, March through November

Children spend their days immersed in farm life, with nature serving as both classroom and teacher. Learning unfolds in real time as curiosity follows the daily rhythms of the farm, such as tending garden beds, harvesting food, building projects, observing wildlife, and tracking weather patterns and seasonal changes — nurturing both intellectual and somatic development.

Our mission is to connect children to the land and foster an environment where the natural world reflects and strengthens their innate curiosity, creativity, and sense of adventure while helping them recognize their place and responsibility within the larger ecosystem.

Themes

Plant cycles from seed to harvest, composting and soil biology, garden-to-table cooking, food forest expansion, pond habitat creation, and permaculture ethics. Learning how regenerative systems support long-term ecological health and the role humans play in sustaining them.


Tree planting, invasive species removal, native seed collecting and planting, and trail making. Taking part in the ongoing restoration of native habitat surrounding the farm.


Exploring how organ systems mirror ecosystems through observation and discussion. Drawing parallels between kidneys and wetlands, rivers and circulation, respiration and forests, lymph and the ocean, the musculoskeletal system and mountain terrain, etc.


Plant identification, traditional energetic qualities of herbs (hot, cold, damp, dry), ethical wildcrafting, herbal first aid, and medicine making.


Working with clay, cob, wood, plant fibers, and other natural materials to create pottery, weaving, artwork, and small functional structures. Developing coordination and creativity through hands-on work.


Tool safety, fire building, shelter construction, water collection, knot tying, carving and whittling. Building confidence and responsibility while learning how tools help us interact with and shape the land.
