STAY AND PLAY
_edited.png)
Welcome to Farm & Forest Families Stay and Play, where we invite you to immerse yourself in the natural world with your little ones. This program is a Drop-In Program, meaning there's no long term commitment. Sign-up for one class or all of them! While this is a drop-in by-donation program, you will need to register online and fill out the waiver form before arriving.
You will have the chance to get a tour through our farm, visit our gentle chickens and goats, and enjoy free play in our Forest Nest Play Spot. Led by an experienced educator, our program offers a delightful blend of farm tours, animal visits, and unstructured outdoor play, all within a warm, natural and nurturing environment.
Here, we embrace the rhythms of nature and foster a sense of wonder, curiosity, and connection to the Earth. Our approach is gentle and holistic, offering caregivers and children alike the opportunity to bond and explore in a safe, community-centered space. Our programs run rain or shine, though in the event of severe weather (thunderstorms, heat warnings, wind warnings, extreme cold), we will notify you by email at least 2 hours in advance. Come join us, reconnect with nature, and spend quality family time together.
