Broadturn Farm Camp
Everyone has a farmer inside them!

"Our mission is to expose 4- to 15-year-old children to where their food comes from and to educate them about sustainable living and farm ecology. Kids are taught the principles of animal welfare and organic gardening, and experience the satisfaction of good work for good food. Farm Camp nurtures children's natural inclination to connect with nature, the outdoors, animals and all living things. Through creative play and exploration, we want children to develop a knowledge, love and respect for locally produced food from small farms. Farm campers are the next generation of consumers and farmers; we want them to be inspired. We want to share the gifts of open space with the children of the community that made the preservation of this farm possible."

"The Farm Camp Program allows campers to experience all the workings of a small, organic, diversified farm. They learn how a seed can sprout and grow into a nutritious and delicious vegetable. They learn the basic needs of raising their own ducklings and chicks and get to watch them grow over the course of the summer. Pigs, lambs, rabbits, turkeys and laying hens are all part of a camper’s experience at the farm. Campers will participate in farm chores such as weeding, picking potato bugs, collecting eggs, feeding the pigs, and planting seedlings. Age-specific groups will take walks in the woods, learn about farm and forest ecology, collect salamanders and frogs, do craft projects with farm goods such as wool, eggs and super large zucchinis, and learn how good local, organic farm-raised food can be through simple cooking projects. Campers play and read and dig in the dirt and come home asking for snap peas and carrots for dinner. Each season, campers are responsible for raising a small flock of chicks and ducklings. They also participate in the care of the farms other resident livestock: pigs, turkeys, lambs, and the two dairy cows."
