At Terra Firma Farm we
believe in natural sustainable farming as well as educational farming. We have
designed our educational programs to correlate closely with the farm and with
the changing seasons. Every program offers hands-on experiences to help
increase the impact of the class. We utilize the farms land and animals to
promote respect for the Earth and our natural resources. Using the farm as
teacher we help build a solid foundation for education. All programs place
special emphasis on fostering cooperation skills, making real farm experiences
available to children, and on giving young people the opportunity to learn by
doing things themselves. Our programs help children develop creativity and
ingenuity while making a point of teaching children to see the value and rewards
of real farm work in a nurturing and supportive environment.
