OUTREACH

Community Outreach and Education Program

We believe that compassion begins with connection. Our Community Outreach and Education Program opens the barn doors to school-age children and community groups, offering hands-on experiences that nurture both knowledge and kindness.

  • Learning by Doing: Students step into the daily rhythm of farm life…feeding animals, building safe habitats, and discovering what it takes to care for creatures great and small.
  • Understanding Our Connection: Through interactive lessons, children explore the vital role animals play in our world and how responsible care supports a healthier community.
  • Cultivating Compassion: Beyond practical skills, we emphasize empathy and respect. By learning to treat animals with kindness, young people develop values that shape them into compassionate adults.

This program is more than an introduction to animal care…it’s an invitation to grow into a future where empathy guides our choices. By fostering respect for all living beings, we help plant the seeds of a more caring, connected community.
