Glade Road Growing presents "Farmessori: Farm Day for Kids During Teacher Workdays" on Tuesday, November 11, 2024.
Be a farm kid for a day! Instead of the classroom, the barnyard will be the school and the farmers will be your teachers so that budding farmers can get some hands on experience while having wagon loads of fun. Farmessori days are held during teacher workdays so instead of being in school you can learn and play here.
Activities include real-working farm dailies like egg collection, feeding the animals, picking vegetables, making our own lunch, and free play outdoors, all here on our working farm. A homemade farm lunch included.
There are two age groups: Ages 9-12 with Kids Farmessori and Ages 13-17 for Teens Farmessori.
Kids Farmessori (ages 9-12) is a fun way to develop social skills, teamwork, expand your child’s palate, and their love of the outdoors.
Teens Farmessori (ages 13-17) is a step up from the kids version, we’ll get into more advanced farming activities with plenty of time to cook and eat what we harvest, too. We may even go over some farm equipment basics.
The cost is $95.00 per participant.

Farmessori is designed for ages 7 to 11 and is a fun way to develop social skills, teamwork, expand your child’s palate, and their love of the outdoors.
The day is all weather so dress for the outdoors.
Even though we make our lunch here we still recommend your child bring a lunch of their own (in case they won't eat ours), two snacks, a water bottle, and weather appropriate clothes (sun protection, rain protection & jacket / layers).
Please have your child wear long pants and closed-toed shoes that are appropriate in a barnyard with mud and animal poop.
Glade Road Growing is located at 2351 Glade Road in Blacksburg, VA.
