Farm School

Welcome to Blue Heron Farm’s Fall Programs!


At Blue Heron Farm, we offer hands-on, play-based programs that let children explore life on the farm while building curiosity, confidence, and connection with the natural world. Our Fall sessions are full of seasonal activities, animals, and plenty of opportunities to learn by doing.


Farm School (Ages 7–12)

August, September, October Sessions – Tuesdays, 12:30-2pm or 4-5:30pm
$100 per child | Each monthly session includes four weekly classes

Farm School is for kids who are ready to dig deeper into farm life. In each 90-minute session, students explore animals, hands-on projects, seasonal experiments, and creative farm-based learning in a small group setting.

Some children love the independence of attending on their own, while others feel most comfortable with a caregiver nearby — and both options are welcome. Our goal is to create a supportive environment where every child can grow at their own pace.

Classes are active, engaging, and full of real farm experiences — focused on learning through doing.

Fall Farm School sessions may include:

  • Meeting and caring for goats, chicks, and bunnies

  • Milking goats

  • Gardening and exploring seasonal plants

  • Hands-on experiments like egg dissections or making soap

  • Farm-themed crafts and interactive activities

Each monthly session includes four weekly classes, with different activities each month, so returning students will continue to explore new farm experiences. Classes are limited to 8 children for a safe, personalized experience.

Farm Play is a caregiver-attended program for ages 3–6, designed as a gentle introduction to farm life. Each 1-hour special event includes animal interactions, storytime, crafts, sensory play, and seasonal farm activities. With a caregiver by their side, children are encouraged to explore at their own pace, ask questions, and build early social and motor skills in a fun, nurturing environment.

Fall Farm Play special events may include:

  • Visiting and interacting with our friendly farm animals
  • Sensory play with natural materials
  • Storytime and farm-themed crafts
  • Seasonal harvest and pumpkin activities
  • Exploring the farm through hands-on learning and play

Each Farm Play event features a unique seasonal theme, so children are welcome to attend one or both events for new activities and experiences. Class size is limited to 8 children.
