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.).
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 $680 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 & 8th
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 Kinderfarming classes are offered as a bundle of 8 classes for the school year, with three open farm dates for family picnics! A $40 non-refundable deposit is required to confirm your child’s spot. The remaining $110 may be paid in a one-time payment by 9/1, or two semester payments of $55.
Classes may be cancelled due to bad weather, but every effort will be made to reschedule!
