Our inaugural Spring Break Camp will be full of adventures on the farm with hands-on activities in farming, art, cooking and more! We will take hikes around our 150-acre organic farm.
SCROLL DOWN FOR A SAMPLE SCHEDULE
Campers can expect to get their hands dirty while exploring pieces of Live Earth’s 150 acres in both organic vegetable row crop production and fruit orchards. In addition to learning about life as an organic vegetable farmer, campers will spend time getting to know our herd of goats, our milking cow, Bella, and visit with the chickens. Campers will assist in daily chores of our animals, while learning about the benefits of humane livestock management.
