At
Farm Day Camp children learn first hand about the farm and the natural
resources that sustain them. They learn where their food comes from in
a very hands on way—they milk a cow and make butter, they plant and
harvest herbs and vegetables, and they do some cooking. They learn to
connect food with the sun and rain, and soil and water on the farm.
Also, they create art, using materials found on the farm, so that their
creativity is nurtured in the process. We want children to have the
opportunity to build relationships with the land, plants, animals and
with farmers. We have very deliberately designed this program to work
with small groups of children so that we can build relationships with
them and they with us. We have watched many children grow up as they
have come back year after year, gaining in their understanding of and
connection with the farm.
