Roots & Shoots Farm School

Fill your mornings in artistic creation & academic learning.  We will offer math & language arts (poetry, recitation, creative writing, etc) encompassed in engaging unit studies.  Our Waldorf philosophy includes songs from many cultures, stories, dances & poems from around the world.

Afternoons will bring a variety of farm activities that will keep your child engaged and learning.

gardening (planting, harvesting, weeding)

barn chores (cow milking, egg collecting, animal play, animal husbandry)

candle dipping

Candy making

We will provide a healthy snack table that the kids help prepare.  We will provide an all-natural diet including fruits, veggies, nuts, local meats, freshly baked breads & crackers. 

Between each organized activity, children will have ample free time to explore the farm, play with other children and spend time in their own thoughts.  We understand that education fits best when it's coupled with freedom and the ability to weave it into the tapestry of your own timeline. 

In addition to daily farm responsibilities, each child will alternate between being on cleanup crew & lunch crew.  We'll also include some fun trust building exercises and confidence boosting games.
