Fall 2023(9/11-11/20)
11 weeks
Fall is just around the corner, and this Falls FarmSchool will be packed with fun, and innovative lessons to engage your child in learning about agriculture.
PreK-1st- Our youngest students will be learning about livestock and produce. We will discuss livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep. We will also dig into fall produce- apples, potatoes, beans and pumpkins.
2nd-4th- Digging a little deeper, our elementary students are going to explore topics such as ruminant digestion, and energy sources.
5th-8th: Our middle school students have been thriving with group projects the past few semesters so we are going to keep challenging them this year. This fall, in addition to learning about energy consumption and renewals, the students will be working on 2 team projects based on agritourism and food production/marketing.

A little about the teacher
Hi, I am Jessica! I have been a homeschool mom for 6 years to my three children (12, 11 and 9 years old). I grew up working on a farm but transitioned into healthcare as an adult. After my children were born, I always made it a priority to get them out in nature for hands on learning experiences. Six years ago, my family and I moved to our homestead in Johnston County. We have learned so much more through gardening, composting, raising livestock and bees. We are also active in our local 4H community.
I am excited to be able to offer your children some ag-based learning opportunities, and can’t wait to see everyone this spring!
