Farm School

Hands-On Learning & Play

"Children cannot bounce off the walls if we take away the walls."

"Children cannot bounce off the walls if we take away the walls." •

  • Do you want to get your children outside, moving, playing, working, connecting with animals and other kids? Here at Laughing Buck Farm we share farm life, the jobs and the adventures together with farmers of all ages.  On any given day we might gather eggs,  groom or ride the horses, work in the garden, go on nature adventures, build forts, swing in the haybarn, snuggle with the bunnies and just enjoy the day unfold together. We have a relaxed pace, yet manage to get the chores done and have lots of fun. 

    Farm School at
    Laughing Buck Farm goes year round, with breaks for holidays and school vacations. We are committed to kids being outside to experience all four seasons so we work, play and enjoy the seasons and the weather together.  

    Together, we will:
    *experience the rhythm of farm life and start each day with chores and greeting the animals
    *work together to care for ponies, goats, chickens, pigs every day
    *spend all three class hours outside
    *learn about farm life and nature with hands-on learning activities in the garden, orchard, and the natural world
    *learn about nature's timeline with activities that are in tune with the seasons

We love mixed aged classes so you may find older farmers in each class. Ask me about how your child might fit best.

"Where we inspire a love for farming, horsemanship, gardening, and nature  through the rhythms of the seasons and hands-on learning and play-- all in an outdoor, farm setting."

Small classes (8 kids with 2 teachers), all outside working, playing and learning together. 
Our outdoor class are held from Sept through end of May, with breaks for holidays.
 May - August, we transition to summer camps.

We welcome ALL ABILITIES
