Welcome to Farm & Forest Families Stay and Play. This program is offered Free or by donation to our community to help make our programs as accessible as possible.
​
Come out and walk around the farm, visit the chickens and goats, and have a play in our Forest Nest Play spot. Our experienced educator will guide children and their caregivers on a farm tour, animal visits, and free play time in the forest, all while building community within a warm and nurturing environment. Join us in fostering a sense of wonder, curiosity, and connection to the Earth through the gentle and holistic approach.
​
Our programs run rain or shine. We will cancel via email at least 2 hours ahead, in the event of severe weather (Thunderstorms, Heat Warning, Wind Warning etc).
