Kinderfarming Registration Form
Farm Fusion / Agriculture Education Registration Form
_____
Farm Fusion
The Farm Fusion classes at Freebird Farm have been fostering a love of learning through agricultural-based education since 2011. This class integrates agriculture into the curriculum through various educational elements (creative writing, science, arts and crafts, stories, physical games, etc.).
2023-24 Farm Fusion classes will meet once per week for 10 weeks in the fall (Sept-Thanksgiving Week) and 10 weeks in the spring (March-May).
Why? Because the weather is icky, the germs are plentiful, and the farm is pretty dormant December through February! (See calendar)
Class fee is $600 for the year. A non-refundable registration/supply fee of $50 required to hold your child’s spot
The Farm Fusion age limits are not set in stone! As a mother of four, I understand that transportation and schedules can be tricky. Your older child can definitely still participate in the younger group, as needed. If you have a very mature 2nd grader, he/she may be better suited in the older group, just as a young, active 3rd grader may have more fun with the younger class! We have flexibility to create the best experience possible.
Advanced Farm Fusion / Ag for 7th+
For older students, we have created a rotating curriculum of upper level lessons and activities! This course will learn more in depth information about animal husbandry, genetics, finances, and more. Examples of activities covered throughout this 2-3 year rotation: milking & soap-making, DIY incubator construction, microgreens and hydroponics, parasitology/microscope study. Even if your child has attended Farm Fusion classes for years, they have never experienced activities like these!

KinderFarming
KinderFarming is a hands-on, interactive, high-energy class for children under 6. A parent/guardian must be present during this 50 min period. Learn along with your child as they experience the wonders of agriculture!
In order for the students to have a cohesive learning experience, our 2023-24 Kinderfarming classes are offered as a bundle of 8 classes for $100 per participating child. (Payment is required to confirm your child’s spot.) Classes may be cancelled due to bad weather, but every effort will be made to reschedule!
