Youth Education Programs

2020 Youth Education Programs

See our Adult Education Programs webpage for information on or to register for one of our educational workshops.

Wright-Locke Farm’s youth education programs offer children a unique, hands-on experience learning about farming and the natural world on a historic working farm. All of our programs include lessons and activities related to agriculture, the environment, or natural science while utilizing the fields, pastures, barns, and wooded trails as our living classroom. Specific subject focuses include soil, compost, worms, plants, Wright-Locke farm animals (goats, chickens, honey bees), land conservation, farm history, select wildlife (plants, animals, insects, fungi), and more. In addition to these specific subjects, daily activities include visiting or caring for our farm animals, cooking healthy and seasonal dishes, and tending our youth garden.

Farm education programs are generously supported by the Cummings Foundation and the John and Mary Murphy Foundation. You can support the Farm by making a donation.

PARTICIPANT PREPARATION

Please read our Visitor Guide to prepare for your future visit or program

Please be advised that our educational activities are primarily outdoors. Participants should ALWAYS dress for the current weather! In the case of rain, we will stay predominantly in covered areas such as our historic 1827 Barn or the All-Seasons Barn. We request that your child wear:

  • weather-appropriate clothing that can get dirty
  • sneakers, hiking boots, or rain boots, when appropriate, are suggested; no flip-flops or fancy sandals, please

Please leave all toys, games, and electronics at home unless you have talked to the staff member leading the program first.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Education Director.

FARM VISITS & ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS

Are you interested in having your class, group, or organization come to Wright-Locke Farm for an education or volunteer-oriented visit? Or would you like the Farm to come to your school or group for an in-house enrichment program? Please contact our Education Director to book a future farm visit or enrichment program. Please note that we host farm visits April through October. Off-farm enrichment programs can be hosted at your location as our schedule allows. View our Farm Education Brochure for featured enrichment program topics.

For information about hosting a child’s birthday party at the Farm, please visit our Private Events webpage.
