Farm School at Violette Hill Hay Farm
At Violette Hill Hay Farm, our Farm School offers a unique, hands-on learning experience that connects children with the natural world, farm animals, and the fundamentals of sustainable agriculture. Designed to engage curious minds of all ages, our program provides an immersive, interactive environment where students can explore, create, and discover through direct experiences with farm life.
A Hands-On Approach to Learning
Farm School is all about experiential learning—students don’t just hear about farm life; they live it! Each session is structured to be engaging, educational, and interactive, blending elements of science, animal care, and nature exploration. Whether working with animals, tending to plants, or learning about the seasonal cycles of farming, students gain a deeper appreciation for the land, where food comes from, and the responsibility that comes with caring for animals and the environment.
What to Expect
Animal Interaction: Students will get up close with a variety of farm animals, learning how to care for them, understand their behaviors, and appreciate their role on the farm.
Agricultural Science: Through hands-on activities, students will explore plant life, soil health, composting, and other essential farming practices that keep a farm thriving.
Problem-Solving & Critical Thinking: Every session includes real-world farm challenges that encourage children to think critically, work collaboratively, and develop problem-solving skills in a fun and supportive setting.
Seasonal Learning: Our curriculum follows the natural rhythms of the farm, meaning each season brings new topics, activities, and experiences.
Why Choose Farm School?
Farm School is more than just an educational experience—it’s an opportunity for children to connect with nature, build confidence, and develop essential life skills in a relaxed, hands-on setting. The farm provides a space where kids can slow down, observe, and participate in the daily rhythms of farm life while fostering a love for animals, sustainability, and agriculture.
Who Can Join?
Farm School is open to children of all ages, whether they are homeschooled, traditionally schooled, or just looking for an enriching educational experience outside of the classroom.
