Sprouts offers an inclusive natural playspace for our youngest friends. Our certified organic farm is the ideal place for little ones to develop lasting connections with other children, their food, and the natural world as they explore their curiosities.

The homeschool classes at Fairview Gardens will aim to connect youth to the farm and environment through hands on lessons, work projects in the garden, art, and games.

During our program, students will:

• Learn the process of growing vegetables, fruit, flowers, and herbs
• Foster an appreciation of the natural world
• Practice core routines of nature connection including daily sit spots, exploring and engaging with our curiosity, sensory awareness activities, and journaling
• Build community with peers and adults
• Develop valuable life skills such as harvesting and cooking, communication, and teamwork

The Center for Urban Agriculture at Fairview Gardens is committed to teaching our youth about food systems and creating connections between food, agriculture, and community. We give children a hands-on experience centered on the farm with various activities involving our greenhouse operations, composting projects, field work, livestock care and harvesting produce. We focus on integrating Next Generation Science Standards in tangible and approachable ways. From September through May, we work with local schools to bring classes to the farm to experience what it takes to grow what they eat and to form healthy relationships to their food.

Drop your children off at the farm and get sometime for yourself. Parents' night out is designed to give your kids a fun experience on the farm under the stars while you spend quality time with yourself or with others. We provide  dinner, farm games and activities and end the evening watching an outdoor movie together. Send your child with a water bottle and something cozy to wear and we’ll do the rest!

CHECK BACK SOON. MORE INFO TO COME.
