Our Animal Care Classes offer the chance to dive into real, rewarding farm life through self-directed, person-centered sessions. Participants lead with their interests and voices, learning gentle handling, daily feeding and watering, health checks, grooming, coop/barn maintenance, chick hatching and brooding, safe interactions with pigs and larger animals, and even observing our livestock guardians at work—all in a nurturing, low-pressure environment. These classes build practical skills, patience, responsibility, and deep connections (to animals and peers alike). Whether you're drawn to the fluffy chicks, the cozy pigs, or the timeless tortoise, we meet you exactly where you are, tailoring every moment to spark joy, confidence, and lifelong learning. Flexible 1-on-1 or small-group scheduling available.
