That’s a wrap! Fall 2026 Farmhand Registration is officially CLOSED!

We are so excited to welcome all of our Farmhand families back this fall and to meet so many new faces joining us for the first time!

Our Farmhand crew is coming together, the barn is getting ready and we can’t wait for another season of animals, exploring, learning, getting dirty and making memories together.

Thank you to every family who registered and for trusting us with your children. We’re looking forward to an amazing fall!

It will include lots of helpful information to help your family get ready for the Fall 2026 season, including important reminders and what to expect as we get started. Please take a few minutes to read through it when it arrives and keep it handy for reference.

👋🏼We can’t wait to see everyone at our Back to Farmhand & Meet the Teachers event on September 1st from 6–8 PM! Come meet your teachers, see familiar faces, get ready for the new Farmhand season and pick up your Farmhand shirts!

📆Back to Farmhand & Meet the Teachers Night

We’ll be having a Meet the Teachers & Back to Farmhand evening on September 1 from 6:00–8:00 PM! This will be a chance to pick up your families Welcome Packet, meet the Farmhand staff and connect with some of the other families who will be joining us this fall. We’ll have some light refreshments available to enjoy while you visit and mingle. We won’t be serving a full meal, so please plan accordingly.

If you aren’t able to make it that evening, no worries! You can pick up your Welcome Packet during the first week you attend Farmhand.

🔔Split Families: If you’re participating in a Split Tuesday or Split Thursday enrollment, keep an eye out for a message from Jacey in the next day or so. She’ll be reaching out to get your preference for odd or even weeks so we can get the split schedules organized. If you don’t see her message, be sure to check your Facebook Message Requests, filtered messages or your email, as it may not show up in your regular inbox.

📩Also, keep an eye out for your Welcome Email next week, once registration closes. It will include helpful information about what to expect, tips to help you prepare and other important details for the fall session.

We’d love to see you there and get everyone ready for a great fall season!

📅 FALL 2026 DATE CORRECTION
We caught a mistake in the Fall 2026 dates we previously posted, so we wanted to make sure everyone has the correct schedule!
Farmhand will run from September 8/10 through November 10/12, with one week off in October.

🍁 Tuesday Families
September 8
September 15
September 22
September 29
October 6
October 20
October 27
November 3
November 10

🍂 Thursday Families
September 10
September 17
September 24
October 1
October 8
October 22

November 5
November 12

📌 There is NO Farmhand October 13-15.

This means the Fall session is still 9 weeks of Farmhand, but it spans 10 calendar weeks because of the October break.

👥 Split Families
For families participating in a Split Tuesday or Split Thursday enrollment, one family will attend the odd-numbered weeks:

1, 3, 5, 7 & 9

The other family will attend the even-numbered weeks:

2, 4, 6, 8 & 9

Everyone attends the final week (Week 9).

We’ll be reaching out to split families shortly to get your preference for odd or even weeks. We’ll do our best to accommodate preferences when assigning the schedules.

We apologize for the confusion and appreciate everyone’s patience as we get the fall schedule finalized!

Hey there!

Fall is peeking around the corner. That means it's field trip time. This year we have very limited spots open, so if you're considering, please reach out.

We've been given excellent reviews on our field trips. They're not only packed with hands-on activities, you will learn about pollinators, seeds, various livestock, and Ag related topics. Participants engage in simple chores, gather eggs, feed chickens, explore the ornamental corn patch, snuggle goats, and get all up close and personal with our animals. There's a play area for littles and a goat encounter area for the wee ones with the wee goats.

And if we don't have any dates open that you need, we can send you over to our friends at Kelsey Farms.

🤠

After school chores and state fair prep.

When you're two years old and the goats get out, you feel it is your duty to scold and shame them into submission. 🤣🫠
