Junior Farmers is a unique experience for children ages 3-12 (ages vary due to schedule) to experience and learn on a real working farm. Mr. Paul, our Youth Program Manager, expertly leads Junior Farmers though educational and fun, seasonal sessions, that all have a slightly different focus.
Junior Farmers sessions (excluding summer) meet one hour a week for the duration of the session. Classes are held multiple days a week so you can choose which one works best for you.
Summer Sessions of Junior Farmers meet Monday through Friday for one whole week.
