We farm with kids. School groups of up to 40 students each visit for 3-day programs throughout the school year.

Our Program for Visiting Schools is the centerpiece of The Farm School. Each school year, over 1,500 children come to help us care for our farm during 3-day visits. The students come with their classes, in groups of up to 40 children at one time, many times splitting a week between two groups from the same school. Many schools bring students for multiple visits spread out over several years. While they are here, the students find value in real work, create community that persists when they return to their classrooms, and experience first hand what it means to be stewards of the earth. It’s simple and it’s magical.

Schools are charged tuition on a sliding scale based on their participation in the federally funded school lunch program. Half the students that come pay a reduced tuition, the balance of which is made up by donations to The Farm School. Every school that has come has returned. As a result, our calendar is usually quite full. However, we welcome inquires about possible visits and are always looking for ways to stretch to fit in more programs!
