Home School Program

Homeschool Farm School
Designed for our older explorers, Farm School is a hands-on opportunity to learn, create, and adventure throughout the farm. Students will get involved in seasonal farm projects, explore the property, spend time outdoors, and discover the many rhythms of life on the farm.
Each class is filled with fresh air, meaningful projects, and plenty of room to explore—all while building confidence, curiosity, and a love for the natural world.
Parents are welcome to stay or make this a drop-off experience. If a child under 5 is attending, a parent or guardian must remain on-site.
Classes meet once a week for six weeks, with a specific learning focus and hands-on activities each week. Our Fall Session will be led by a local homeschool senior! When registering, you’ll choose your preferred day and time, which will remain the same throughout the six-week session. Classes take place rain or shine—the barn provides protection from rain but is open-air, so please dress accordingly. Feel free to bring a snack or picnic lunch to enjoy before class!

Upcoming Winter Session

From the week of February 2 - the week of March 9

Join us for a six-week hands-on fall farm unit designed specifically for homeschool families in the Upstate. Each week explores a different part of the fall farm cycle through science, nature, agriculture, history, STEM, and hands-on activities.

Students will explore farm animals preparing for winter, how the garden grows and prepares when we don’t even see plants, chicks, goat kids, and more! Each week includes hands-on projects and games tied to the vocabulary and concepts.

It’s a fun, engaging way to connect classroom learning with real farm experiences, seasonal changes, and the Upstate's agricultural heritage.

This session will be taught by our intern from North Greenville University! Teresa is a sophomore Outdoor Leadership Major and is excited to implement many pieces of her curriculum at the farm. We are honored to have her as part of our team!
