Overview
Each summer, The Farm School provides children with an extended time to be at the farm outside of coming with their school. During the week-long summer sessions, they have the time to get to experience the Farm School on an individual and more personal level. The programs are shepherded by our experienced staff of farmers and teachers.
For those who have come during the school year, we will be doing much the same as you remember - chores, work projects, crafts, tracking - with the addition of an afternoon swim at a nearby state park. For all of you, new and returning, here are some of the things you can look forward to: milking cows, gardening, building, hiking, swimming, cooking, caring for animals, swinging, working in the woods, bird watching, writing, singing, haying, contra dancing, star gazing and enjoying the summer breezes with new and old friends.
