Farmhands



Farmhands, our childrens' education program, is an excellent opportunity for kids of all ages to experience what local small-scale farming is all about. From watershed to foodshed, young people will come to understand the dynamic processes that put food on the table.

We provide hands-on, experiential farm and nature-based educational opportunities to school groups, special contract groups, children and families. Farmhands curriculum focuses on nature appreciation, ecological understanding, traditional arts, sustainable agriculture and human health and nutrition.

In cooperation with Weathervane Farm and Cottonwood Creek Dairy at The Meadows in Buena Vista and the historic Hutchinson Homestead in Salida, kids will be able to assist in a working CSA garden, participate in building sustainable structures, milk a goat, study aquatic ecology, experience living history, produce written reflections, engage in fun team and character-building activities and much more.
