Mini-Mondays
Every Monday at 10:30am there is fun to be found at the Learning Tree Farm for our Preschool-aged friends and their caregivers.
On the 1st & 3rd Mondays of each month, drop-in for a 30-minute story time and songs as part of your regular admission, NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED.
Then on the 2nd & 4th Mondays each month, be sure to register so you don’t miss out on our 90 minute Club Chickadee programs with games, activities, a craft, and hands-on learning experiences.
We can’t wait to explore, connect & grow with you and your young ones!
Saturday
Family Fun
Our Saturday Family programming offers multiple weekend opportunities for families to participate in the farm activities. Each season will have an event, an educational program, and a guided hike. Our staff provides the opportunity for your family to embrace what makes each season unique as they highlight a special part of the farm. This is a great opportunity for the whole family to experience the farm together.
