After School Explorers (4th & 5th Graders)
Our after school programs are designed to excite students to learn more about the outside world and feel comfortable on the farm. Our fall and spring after school programs allow participants to further their farm education by engaging with the land beyond the summer months. Students join the end-of-season harvest, care for our livestock, and learn how to prepare the earth for winter. Spring programs offer experiences in the gardens sowing seeds and help with the new baby livestock.
