Family Programs

Family Programs are offered on most weekends throughout the spring and fall and consist of Family Farm Days, Toddler Days, and Family Campouts. Some Family Farm Days have special themes, such as Sheep to Shawl, Ocean Exploration Day and Mothers Day. We also offer two special family events: Spring Fling and Harvest Celebration.

Pre-registration is required for all Family Programs.

Family Farm Days

Under the guidance of our experienced teachers, you can: milk a goat, feed and collect eggs from our chickens, rub a sheep’s wool, plant seeds, sample from our organic garden, learn to make crafts and food just like the early farmers and explore our miles of wild land trails and tide pools. Opportunities available for adult level education as well as activities geared just for kids. Register now.

“A wonderful opportunity for my daughter to experience the connection between the land and produce, to get close to the animals who provide us food, for us all to get close to nature in such stunningly beautiful surroundings.”
