What is Growing as a Family?

Growing as a Family is a hands-on, seasonal program designed to bring families together through gardening, animal care, and mental wellbeing. Over five months, your family will grow food, connect with nature, and build emotional skills in a supportive, peaceful farm environment.

What’s Included:

Your own garden plot to tend as a family
Take-home fresh produce and a final celebration feast
Animal care (poddy lambs, chickens, horses and more)
Farm-based activities like composting, egg candling, seed saving & campfire cooking
Weekly wellbeing workshops inspired by DBT, ACT, mindfulness & lifestyle medicine
Time to unplug, connect, and grow together
