What is
Farm School?
We believe that opportunities to learn exist all around us, and often not in a classroom setting. At Pasture Raised Kids, the classroom is a three-acre farm shared with goats, chickens, dogs, rows of berries, flowers, pumpkins, raised garden beds, and plenty of dirt to dig in.
Our Programs
Our full-time microschool is rooted in the foundation of student-centered learning, honoring
each child’s unique learning style
and interests. Learn More!
Farm School
We offer the most competitive and unconventional approach to music education in the region. We are creating a community of artists who believe in the power of music as creative expression, to empower the lives of others, and to promote a culture of empathy in the world around us. Learn More!
Music
Step into our world where learning meets nature. Our summer program is designed to ignite curiosity and foster a deep connection with the environment. From our bustling farm to the heart of our culinary kitchen and vibrant children's garden, every corner is a new discovery waiting to happen. Learn More!

Learners come together on the farm two or four afternoons per week to discover the enriching world of Farm School through a variety of exciting classes, while integrating with a nurturing community of friends and mentors. Learn More!
Afternoon Discovery
We believe in
Educational Freedom
Parents and children should be empowered to lead their
educational journey.
Environmental Connection
Children should be educated in
harmony with their natural
environment, not separate from it.
Hands on Learning
Knowledge is the product of action. Children learn best when they are engaged in active, hands-on exploration and interaction with their environment. (Jean Piaget)
