Time to let your kids unplug and reconnect to the natural world. At Hamilton Pool Farms, we help grow sustainable and resilient kids who understand the connection between healthy soil and delicious, life-giving food, while deepening their awareness of the natural world. Our teaching style and curriculum is influenced by Wilderness Awareness Schools, Waldorf Education, and the Garden-Based Learning Movement.

Classes are taught on our organic, regenerative, biodynamic veggie & medicinal herb farm, surrounded by 65 acres of beautiful land. Each farm school day goes from 9 am - 2 pm and consists of group games, circle time, farm chores, gardening or farming, chicken time, cow visits, nature activities, art, stories, practical skills training, wilderness exploration, food preparation, and so much more. Our Instagram page is a great place to see photos of things we do at Farm School @hamiltonpoolfarms

Farm School is available year-round, broken down into 10-week semesters that coincide with the seasons - Fall, Winter and Spring semesters from 9am-2pm - $575 for each 10-week semester.  Sibling discounts available.  We also have a farm-to-table snack/lunch program available – catered healthy organic food prepared by our chef.

Parents are welcome to stay on-site at our Vineyard tasting room during class time to work, read, or relax. We have excellent wi-fi, coffee & tea bar, and food available.  Both indoor and outdoor space.
