Educational & Hands-On Farm Programs for
schools, daycares, youth groups, community homes and more!
At Happy Little Farmstead, we offer educational farm experiences for elementary schools, daycares & early learning centres, homeschool groups, youth organizations, community homes, and more, with a focus on hands-on, curriculum-connected learning beyond the classroom. Our programs are designed to support learning while helping children and adults make meaningful, real-world connections to agriculture and food systems.
We provide both on-farm field trips and off-farm outreach programs, with activities tailored to different ages and learning goals. Whether participants come to the farm or we bring the farm to them, learning happens through hands-on exploration, experience, and discovery.
Our programs are available in both English and French.
Available weekdays and evenings
