Autumn at the Farms is where the magic happens! 🍂✨
Meet us at the Farm: Fall Program
Falling into Autumn
Monday Mornings, 9:30AM -11:30 AM
and Thursday Afternoons, 2PM – 4PM.
August 10 – November 5, 2026
Join us for a beautiful, hands-on autumn season of growing, harvesting, and creating! Designed for young growers, this program is all about connecting with the land, our food, and each other as we watch the seasons shift.
Every session is split into two engaging, hands-on hours:
🌱 Mondays: Garden & Sensory Play with Be Here Now (2hrs)
Mindful sensory exploration, nature-based play, and hands-on discovery using the sights, sounds, and textures of the garden.
🌱🪶 Thursdays: Gardening & Birding (2hrs)
Dig, plant, and grow alongside us, then take a trail walk learning about birds, their habitats, and how they help our gardens thrive through fun, hands-on nature activities.
Meet us at the farm to wrap up this beautiful season and help us “put the garden to sleep” for the winter
