Farming the City
Farming the City is an urban farm day camp program for children 4–12 years old. Children are hands-on involved in the everyday activities of a working urban farm. Each day includes farm chores, agriculture lessons, harvesting, and cooking or nature projects. Nutrition and earth stewardship lessons are intrinsic to all experiences. Take away projects are fun and meaningful and will bring these lessons home.
We welcome children from all walks of life and surrounding communities to join our summer fun (and will provide scholarships when needed). Ninety percent of our time together will be outdoors.
As always, our goal is to follow the child’s excitement and wonder as we visit and learn about the special places on the farm. From the barnyard to the gardens to some very special secret places, it will be a summer of new and exciting discovery.
Come grow with us this summer.
