Educational Programs for Students
Preschool, Elementary, Middle & High School
Preschool Programs offer authentic farm experiences and basic respect for nature. Children feed goats and pigs, find warm eggs in the chicken coop, and taste fresh garden produce. They witness respect for the land and all creatures exhibited in Earth-friendly farming and energy production.
feed the pigs, hold chickens, explore the water cycle and the origins of our food. Children explore the cycles and rhythms of the natural world, while beginning to understand that these times call for a new way of being in the world.
High School Programs explore the idea of sustainability and human responsibility while touring the farm, living village, renewable energy system, and biodiesel refinery. The environmental crisis is placed in an historical context, and students are empowered with the knowledge that their positive choices shape the future.
