Programs at Seed Song Farm allow children to experience the farm and surrounding creek and woodlands through active, creative, and fun activities. The program nurtures an understanding of and deep reverence for our land and the food that it provides, and incorporates the arts to allow us to imagine how the plants, animals, and elements of the farm and wilderness shape and strengthen us, giving us special power.
Our programs run from February to December.
Staff and participants work and learn together, as an extended farm family does, to accomplish basic daily farm tasks such as feeding the sheep, collecting the chickens' eggs, planting and harvesting herbs and vegetables and flowers, building structures, and cooking and eating together. Surrounding these activities, we explore and celebrate the wondrous nature around us, learn some of the sustainable ways of the area's earlier inhabitants, and process these experiences through games and the arts to transform ourselves into superheroes with special powers drawn from the land.
Please register for our programs early, as the size of the program will be limited.

Thanks, Seed Song Farm!"
