The kids become mini farmers and after a detailed tour get set to work doing farm chores. We collect eggs, restock our pet chickens bedding, ensure they have fresh water and clean out the coup. We work on our dedicated Farm Kids garden plot and tend to our onsite worm Subpod. If the opportunity arises, we assist the farmers with their chores. They forage, cook, make natural products, create and see where their food comes from as well as experience countless opportunities to learn about teamwork, community, and ethical farming practices. 

Discussion 

• We go for a creature hunt and list, label and discuss what we find and their purpose on the farm. 

• Is a bee a bug? Is a spider a bug? What is a beetle, moth, butterfly, ant? What are the scientific names? 

• What jobs do each of them do? 

• We look at weird bug pictures.
