Ready for a farm adventure? Youth ages 6-11 are encouraged to join us on the 1st Saturday of the month in experiencing Soil Born Farms as you explore, investigate, taste, make and garden. Each Saturday has a unique focus that will offer students new learning experiences, opportunities to make new friends and a chance for them to connect with the outdoor world.

Parents are encouraged to enjoy a relaxing morning on the farm, listen to live music, meet friends for coffee at Phoebe’s, take a walk or class, shop for produce and plants or drop off their kids and have three hours to themselves on Saturday morning. This can be a good option for siblings, play dates or scout troops. This three hour experience requires pre-registration and parents must sign a waiver.

Fabulous Flyers on the Farm
Saturday, November 7, 9am-12pm
Soil Born Farms has a wildlife gallery on the farm! Kids will go on a bird walk around the farm and Cordova Creek to see if we can spot, identify, or find evidence of some of our most interesting high flyers on the farm. Hawks, owls, herons, red shouldered blackbirds, cranes, and wood ducks are some of the many birds we might spot.

Wreath Making
Saturday, December 5, 9am – 12pm
Wreaths have been a source of celebration and adornment since the ancient Greeks and Romans. Kids will gather together to learn about the wreath and symbolism as well as use their creativity to make a natural wreath with special touches to add to the design. We will “go on the hunt” around the farm looking for natural items that they can use to make one-of-a-kind colorful wreaths to take home.
