Farm to School Connections
We are passionate lifelong learners and we know that hands on experiences give students the chance to incorporate what they learn in to their lives. We share our expertise and passion in an effort to help students make connections to nature and to understand their place in the food system.

We have worked with students on service projects, developed unique custom learning experiences or simply provided a tour of the farm and its animals and systems. Contact us and tell us a little about your group and interests and we will work with you to develop programs for your students.

Additionally, we would love to create opportunities for your homeschool coop or small group or one on one with your student. We could explore the oak savanna, food preservation, permaculture, the food cycle of a chicken - from egg to chicken dinner. or many other areas of interest. A hands on collaborative learning environment and a deep love of sharing knowledge drive our desire to offer these classes to homeschool students.
