Homeschool Enrichment for Ages 6-12:
Explore half-day enrichment on Fridays, adding outdoor education and equine-assisted learning to your homeschool curriculum. Many Farm School graduates continue their journey with us, deepening their connection to farm and forest life while building new friendships. As they grow, they take on the role of mentors, guiding and supporting younger students in our community. Our homeschool enrichment days align with the weekly themes of Farm School, offering project-based learning, farm and forest exploration, and equine-assisted experiences.
