Our Summer on the Farm program brings children ages 5-9 to Stone Acres farm where Farmhouse educators help them pick, taste and cook fresh produce. Over the course of eight summer weeks, we visit the laying hens, measure the temperature of the compost piles, inspect milkweed for monarch caterpillars, dissect flowers to see how their parts are designed, harvest and compare seeds and much much more. All the programs include cooking and by the end of the summer the children have made ice cream and berry compote, kale pesto and thyme salt, veggie slaw and ranch dressing and many more recipes.
