Do you think you’re ready to take the next steps in your Drumlin Farm experience? Our series programs, which are for all ages, bring another level of immersion. How so? Well, let Carrie, one of our awesome program coordinators, tell you.
What separates a series class from a single-session class?
Series programs allow a group to form a sense of community that’s linked to our landscape, animals, and staff. Over the course of a program, these participants start to learn Drumlin Farm’s rhythms. They work with the farm animals or wildlife, collect citizen science data, plant and harvest vegetables, eat the food we grow, and get a real sense of ownership of this place. These are the kinds of connections that make people into life-long environmental stewards.
Why is this level of immersion important?
It’s so great to explore a subject from different angles! With our Farm Apprentices program, the group focuses on the different parts of the farm and learns how they all connect—the manure from the cow’s stall becomes compost for the vegetables, the garden weeds make a great snack for the pigs, and so on. The participants also get a chance to see how things change throughout the seasons and build on their understandings from one class to the next.
