Youth 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!
Please reach out to Rachel at [email protected] with any questions about youth programs, and we hope to see your family around the farm soon!

Each class will include an open-ended project, time to explore materials through play and visits with the farm animals. Class size will be limited to 12 children and 2 teachers.
We are excited to have Ann Wynne back as our lead art educator this fall! Ann is a local artist, art teacher, and early childhood educator with a background in nature education. http://aroomforart.blogspot.com/
