Farm to Table Learning.

Farm to Table is our homeschool support program inspired by the old-fashioned “one-room farm schoolhouse.” It is a five-hour, outdoor drop-off program for children ages 5–11, who are split into a Younger Pod and an Older Pod, each learning around one large table with their own head teacher, located on working farms. Each location is unique- some with fruit orchards, vegetable gardens, or greenhouses, all with a variety of farm animals, allowing children to learn through the natural rhythms and resources of the land. Designed to support, not replace, homeschooling families, Farm to Table offers academic guidance. Core subjects include Language Arts, Math, Geography, Art, and Science are woven into the day through our proposed daily schedule. Learning unfolds with a consistent structure that blends workbook time, read-alouds, discussion, hands-on farm experiences, and child-led exploration.
