Little Farmers Ages 3—5 with parent Introduces children to the livestock raised on the farm. We will focus on a different group of animals each session: birds, sheep, pigs and insects. We will be doing up-close watering and feeding and will participate in hands-on activities, stories, songs and more. There will be some walking about, so dress for the weather. The kids will meet in the greenhouse when it is too rainy to stay outside. Cost $40 per session

Farmer’s Helper Ages 6-11 Gives students an opportunity to see where their food really comes from and to participate in getting it table-ready. They will care for the animals (feeding, watering, carrying hay and other supplies), plant and tend a raised bed with their group, and sometimes join the farm crew in the fields for weeding and harvesting. They will be encouraged to keep a journal of their experiences. The kids will meet in the greenhouse when it is too rainy to stay outside. Bug spray may be needed. Cost $60 per session.
