Agriculture Education Classes

Learn. Farm. Love. Thrive. Repeat.

My Learning Farm Classes provide opportunities for students to learn about animals, farm life, agriculture

Class Overview

Teaching students about agriculture on my family farm fuels my passion for connecting children to the natural world. Our weekly farm education classes explore plants, animals, ecosystems, and agricultural science through short, age-appropriate lessons, hands-on activities, creative projects, and plenty of fun in a real farm setting. These classes are perfect for curious learners who thrive in outdoor, sensory-rich environments.

My Learning Farm Class Topics

Each week, students explore engaging, hands-on topics that connect them to the natural world, farm life, and science through outdoor learning. Popular agriculture and nature-based lessons include:

The Wonderful World of Worms (soil health and composting)
Getting Down and Dirty (gardening and planting basics)
What Comes First—The Chicken or the Egg? (life cycles and poultry care)
Nature’s Colors (plant pigments and natural dyes)
Pond Scum 101 (wetland ecosystems and water critters)
Duck, Duck, Goose (bird behavior and waterfowl fun)
Let’s Get Farming (daily chores, tools, and crop care)
All About Alpacas (fiber animals and their role on the farm)
...topics change each session!

Kids are encouraged to bring curiosity, questions, and clothes that can get messy as they dive into hands-on learning in a real farm environment.
