School Groups
In the past we have been able to host school groups as part of the Farm to School Program, but they cut the funding for the field trips, wish they’d bring it back.
I do love working with Home School Groups or parents interested in having their kids have a hands-on farm experience. Contact [email protected] to set up a farm adventure.
