Are your kids passionate about animals and eager to experience farm life firsthand? Enroll in our exciting after-school program where children aged 5 to 15 will get hands-on experience tending to goats, chickens, ducks, quails, and turkeys—just like real farmers!

Each week, your child will:

•Feed, water, and care for our farm animals •Groom the goats and play with the baby goats •Cuddle the chickens, collect the eggs and tend to any baby chicks

•Learn how to milk the goats

•Help with maintaining the animal enclosures and putting down fresh bedding

•Water the garden and discover farm life •Perform health checks and learn about animal care

•Enjoy free play time with the animals

This program offers a unique chance for children to develop responsibility, gain valuable animal care skills, and enjoy outdoor adventures with new friends on our Permaculture farm. Children will not only learn the basics of animal care but will also develop important life skills like responsibility, teamwork, and empathy.

By engaging in tasks such as feeding, grooming, and performing health checks, kids will build problem-solving skills and confidence. This hands-on program also helps develop fine motor skills while fostering a deep connection to nature and sustainable living. It’s the perfect blend of fun, learning, and outdoor adventure!
