Small farm focused on sustainably grown and ethically raised food.
Our fully fenced, 10 acre property has both cultivated land and natural woods which creates the perfect space for children to unplug and connect with nature in multiple settings. Unique programs offer a learning experience which encourages team work, engages the body, and builds self esteem while emphasizing respect for the natural world and each other. Most importantly, we maintain an inclusive and safe space for kids to be kids and just have fun.
This after-school program gives children a “real” job to do. Each day, the group will use problem solving and team work to complete seasonal farm projects. These may include making garden beds, hauling leaves or firewood, planting native flowers, creating walking paths in the woods, harvesting produce, or moving fencing for the animals. Best of all, each kid goes home with $5 for their efforts.
Work begins at 4pm to allow time for everyone to arrive, enjoy a snack, visit one of the farm animals, or catch up with a friend.
3:30pm-5:30pm

Our farm offers an outdoor, screen-free, and inclusive space for your child’s summer vacation. We provide a slightly wild environment for children to climb trees, engage with animals, get dirty, unleash their creativity, work hard, forge new friendships and simply play. Each week is themed to resonate with diverse interests and to ensure an enriching experience for our campers who spend the summer with us. All planned activities are optional and adaptable to suit the group.
Each camp day runs from 8:00 to 4:00.
$300 per week or $65 per day
Extended care available for $10 each additional hour.
This option creates a space for children who are too young for traditional jobs but are ready to do a little more than the younger campers. The responsibilities will be age appropriate and should help them learn about their interests and strengths in a supportive environment to boost their self esteem and build their independence. Children may be asked to lead activities, perform extra farm chores and clean up after crafts, and more. CITs may earn daily refunds in their camp tuition by fulfilling these responsibilities.
This program is $50 per day and is available for all the dates listed on this page.
Please contact us before registering to discuss this option for your child.
