Friday Farm Work
On Fridays we travel one hour north of Dallas to Greenville to actively contribute to a working farm. Rather than completing token farm chores, our students attain valuable skills & provide valuable, necessary labor in return.
Students will actively contribute to the upkeep and running of the farm by learning & working in the following areas:
- bee keeping
- feeding & tending the pigs, chickens, turkeys, cows, and horses
- planting, tending, & harvesting the garden
- repairing & keeping up farm equipment
- milking the cows
- grooming & exercising the horses
- making yogurt, cheese, and butter
- canning & pickling the produce
