The Farm School is a magical place, there is no one certain thing that captures the heart, it is personal and the opportunities are great. The magic may be found in the open space, fresh air, starry night skies, loving animals, time with a book at the base of an apple tree, times of laughter and play running freely, the fulfillment of finishing that building project or that final stroke upon the fiery iron at the forge, a place to be captivated by the forest, sounds of streams and creeks, a place to lay down, be held by earth and let go. Whatever it is, we plan to keep your kids safe as they explore and find that magic at a moment when it is so needed.

Thank you for joining us on the farm again, we look forward to seeing you and the youth soon.
