Real Farm Work. Real Learning. Real Fun.
FORGET CLASSROOM WALLS – AT FARM SCHOOL FRIDAYS, EDUCATION HAPPENS IN THE FRESH AIR WITH DIRT UNDER YOUR FINGERNAILS AND FARM EDUCATORS GUIDING YOUR CHILD THROUGH THE WORK ON A REGENERATIVE FARM. YOUR CHILD WILL TIE ON THEIR BOOTS AND DIVE INTO AUTHENTIC FARM WORK ALONGSIDE OUR FAMILY & TEACHERS, GAINING INVALUABLE LIFE SKILLS & BUILDING COMMUNITY 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.
