where learning is harnessed through hands-on experience, and nourishing our community is our driving force.
We welcome students from Grades 1–12 for educational and hands-on learning opportunities.

Fall registration is open now! Let us bring your classroom learnings to life.
Whenever we can have kids learn things with their hands, they learn it so much better.
The students and parents had good things to say about the experience. I thought the field trip was great! We will be excited to do it again next year.
Kristjan is so passionate about farming and is a great educator. He kept the kids engaged, and they left the farm with a great appreciation for agriculture, farmers, and food.
The students have not stopped talking about it since we got back. We had a wonderful experience. We appreciate your knowledge and guidance around the farm.
What to Expect
Children will arrive at our farm and be welcomed by our Stable Harvest Farm farmers. The tour will be led by our team of knowledgeable farmers and volunteers.
The students will be split into small groups and led through 12 of our education stations that each focus on a different aspect of organic farming, agriculture, and sustainability, learning about soil pollinators, greenhouses, invasive species, owls and much more!
Through our various hands-on activities, students will get a sense of what it is to be an organic farmer and why organic farming is so important. Students will also get an opportunity to visit our beehives where they can get an inside “buzz” on beekeeping.
Following their time in our education gardens, students will meet our loveable farm animals. Currently, our farm is home to chickens, dwarf goats, alpacas, miniature pigs, and lambs!
At the end of each tour, students will take home free treats from the farm: A jar of honey, a bookmark embedded with ready-to-plant phacelia seeds, and a packet of either sunflower or pumpkin seeds!
