Farm School

9:30am-3:00pm

Thursdays & Fridays (during school year)

Ages 5-15

$800 per session (8 classes)

Strong, anxiety-free, compassionate children develop out of environments where their work is valued and needed, real life responds to their real touch, and art rings true to their experience. This class for homeschooling kids follows a rhythm of farm and cooking chores, a meal together, and lessons that include physical coordination, stories, folk songs, and age-appropriate material. Farmwise Education has offered these farm programs for decades and Kate will take on the baton.
