SUMMER CAMP
Our farm is home to many livestock, but the small animal yard is dedicated to baby goats, lambs, piglets, chickens, and ducklings! Each day, the campers get to spend time making friends with the little animals while brushing, feeding, and giving treats to all the barnyard pets.
Mini Animals
In the cooler hours of the morning, campers will learn to plant, sow, harvest, and nurture the garden. Our garden consists in several different varieties of vegetables, strawberries, and a large cut flower plot. Campers will learn about sustainable garden remedies, composting, and native plant identification.
Harvest and Plant
Learn to use what we have harvested! Everything gathered from the garden will be available for any campers who want to try the products of their hard work! Campers will learn how to make fresh salsa, pickles, and goat milk ice cream.
Cooking and Canning
There are lots of trails to explore in our 50 acres of woods on the farm. Campers will learn to identify wild plants during scavenger hunts and have fun building huts out of the fallen branches in our cedar forest.
Nature Exploration
Kids can cool off and have a blast with exciting water activities like slip and slides, water gun battles, and sprinklers. These fun-filled games let everyone enjoy the sunshine while staying refreshed and soaked.
Water Fun
During the hotter hours of the day, kids can explore their creativity in the barn through a variety of fun activities such as pottery, scrapbooking, painting, flower arranging (for mom) and building projects.
Creative Projects
Experience the joys of nature, mini farm animals, and fresh produce at our immersive farm camp!
Give your child the experience of life on a farm in the rolling hills of southeast Williamson County, TN. Young campers will spend the week caring for our abundant organic vegetable and flower gardens, learning how to milk a nanny goat, exploring the trails throughout the property, and enjoying farm inspired arts and crafts. Kids will learn about sustainable farming and responsible animal husbandry all while having the best week of their summer!
​With small group sizes of just 25 campers and a counselor-to-camper ratio of 1:5, each child gets plenty of individual attention and support. As an additional treat, farm-fresh products are available for purchase at the end of each day, so you can take a piece of the farm home with you!
