Spring and Summer Education Programs at Wright-Locke Farm (Winchester, MA)

Wright-Locke Farm’s youth education programs offer children a unique, hands-on experience on a historic working farm. All of our programs include lessons and activities related to agriculture, the environment, and natural science while utilizing the fields, pastures, barns, and wooded trails as our living classroom. Daily activities include visiting or caring for our animals, cooking healthy and seasonal dishes to try, tending our two youth gardens, and free choice time to partake in games, arts and crafts, and more.

This year’s selection of spring and summer youth programs for children in preschool through grade 8 includes: April Vacation Programs (April 20-24), Spring After School Programs (meet once a week over 6 weeks starting week of May 4), Preschool Programs (one day sessions held June-September), and Summer Vacation Programs (Mon-Fri programs start week of June 22).

Adult education workshops hosted by the Farm are a great opportunity for teen and adult learners to gain new knowledge and skills in subjects related to sustainable agriculture, healthy food preparation, and the environment. This spring we are featuring programs concerning how to cook nutrient dense but lesser known local vegetables, backyard composting, organic gardening, fermenting, foraging wild edible and medicinal plants, and canning jam.
