Fall Youth Programs at Wright-Locke Farm

After school, preschool, and toddler-parent programs hosted this autumn season

It's hard to believe, but the autumn season is right around the corner. Wright-Locke Farm offers a variety of Fall Education Programs for kids ages 2 and up! Fall youth programs are a great way to enjoy the end of the harvest season on a small scale certified organic farm. Programs include the farm's popular Fall After School Programs for kids in grades K - 6, its Friday morning Preschool Program for kids ages 4 - 5, and its Saturday morning "Farm Sprout" educational tours for children ages 2 - 3 with a parent or caretaker. Visit the farm's website to learn more or sign up: http://www.wlfarm.org/2017-youth-programs/

Wright-Locke Farm’s youth education programs offer children a unique, hands-on experience learning about farming and the natural world on a historic working farm. All of our programs include lessons and activities related to agriculture, the environment, or natural science while utilizing the fields, pastures, barns, and wooded trails as our living classroom. Specific subject focuses include soil, compost, worms, plants, Wright-Locke Farm’s domesticated animals (sheep, goats, chickens, honeybees), land conservation, farm history, select wildlife (plants, animals, insects, fungi), and more. Daily activities include visiting or caring for our farm 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.
