We have just 10 open spots left for Arcadia Farm Camp -- a place where kids get to be kids, engage in real farm activities, eat lots of food that is harvested before their eyes, learn to cook from chefs, play with the chickens, sing, dance, make art, and get plenty of free play time where they can follow their curiosity! Know a child age 6 - 12 who would flourish? If your kids are nature-deprived, this is the antidote! Sign up at the link below!

Children ages 6-11 learn everything about daily farm life! From morning chores like watering, harvesting, and collecting eggs to planting seeds and tilling garden beds.
