This outdoor program for kids ages 11-14 allows students to ‘un-plug’ from the digital world, reconnect with nature, and learn the ins and outs of organic farming and gardening through hands-on instruction. Apprentices will work together to help maintain the Wakeman gardens while learning about composting, and taking care of the various farm animals (rabbits, chickens, ducks, goats, alpacas, sheep). Building projects and exploring how to live a sustainable lifestyle are also a part of this program. The apprentice model is great for students who like to ‘get their hands dirty’ while learning about the environment and having fun at the same time. This is an outdoor program please dress weather appropriate and closed toe shoes required (No Crocs). To enroll past the start date please contact education@wakemantownfarm.org
