Youth & Family Programs
LexFarm youth programs offer many opportunities for hands-on learning and play in a beautiful farm setting. Based in the LexFarm learning garden, our classes expose children to all aspects of the growing cycle: planting, weeding, watering, and harvesting. We explore the wildlife at the Arlington reservoir and care for the animals at neighboring Silk Fields Farm. At this time our various programs serve children from 6 months old through 3rd grade!
LexFarm education is committed to making our programs and school group visits accessible. A limited number of scholarships and waived membership fees are available for families qualifying as low-income/EBT and families experiencing financial hardship. Email [email protected] to find out more.

Immerse your child in nature this winter! This drop-off series for 3-6 year olds is a time for children to play, explore, and learn on the farm. We’ll learn about how wild animals adapt and survive through winter, grow some veggies inside the greenhouse, and do a lot of playing in the mud and snow. We’ll also spend time caring for the chickens, goats, sheep and alpacas! We’ll plan to be outside most of the time, but will use our new geodesic dome classroom space for warmth and shelter as needed.

Animal Caretakers (7 – 12 y/o)
Learn what it’s like to live on a farm by helping with animal care and chores! This program is for students who love animals and want to spend more time with them. We’ll learn about the sheep, goats, alpacas and chickens as we work together to complete chores like feeding, collecting eggs, brushing and walking the goats, free-ranging the chickens and – everyone’s favorite – mucking out the barns! Requires a willingness to stay moving, get messy and do some hard work. The animals are especially appreciative of this extra TLC in the cold winter months!Animal Caretakers Winter 2025 (4 weeks)
