In-School Workshops

We take the planning out of hectic field trips by bringing the farm to your classroom! We provide immersive, hands-on learning experiences for students in grades Pre-K to 12, designed to foster a lifelong appreciation for the natural world and our role within it.

Our Approach To Learning

Learning is an ecosystem. It thrives on connection and balance. We believe that teaching skills in isolation is ineffective; instead, we anchor our agricultural lessons in the broader environment, so learners see how their newly acquired skills fit into the big picture. By centering their cultural experiences and traditions, we create lessons that resonate personally with learners, honoring their identities and perspectives.
