Last Friday during volunteer time, we were up to some serious supply shed organizing (and trying on all the things we find) 🌿✨☀️

Interested in joining us for our volunteer day?

Each Friday from 9:15a- 11:15am we come together as a community and tend to farm projects, the land and other silly adventures. We sure do hope to see you this Friday ☺️

An ocean of gratitude to the Earth School team, our inspiring students, their families, and community volunteers for making this past school year on the farm so very beautiful. My heart overflows with love and thanks for each and every one of you. Thank you for being our village and for growing and tending this vision together.

Dear child,

We teach you outside

because we want your learning to be living.

We want your learning

to bring you ever more alive

We want you to trust

your own questions

and walk into the center of each one

like a dark, mysterious cave

or a wild river

that will lead you somewhere you've never before been,

And will lead you, still, to yet another question

We teach you outside

in hopes that you will recognize

that the same miraculous blueprint of nature

in the life cycle of the plant or the frog or the butterfly,

So too, lives in you

And in hopes that you realize yourself

Inseparable from the living web of all existence.

We teach you outside

so that you will know that

your food comes not from a grocery shelf,

but from the generosity of the land

in loving partnership with the human hand.

We teach you outside

in hopes that you are kept close to awe,

to wonder --

So that four walls won't keep you from

wind through your hair or a butterfly on your arm, or sun on your face, or wild harvested greens in your basket, or birdsong in your heart.

We teach you outside in hopes that you can touch and smell and taste and hear and feel what it is you are learning -

For, the living world awaits being known by you, child.

Yes, we teach you outside,

in hopes that you may come to know

Life itself

as the greatest teacher of all.
