Farm Day Camp
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.
