Farm and Forest Programs

Outdoor Adventures!

As children grow beyond the preschool years, the farm experience grows right alongside with them. Pleasant Valley Porter Farm offers three distinct Farm and Forest Programs for children ages 6 - 12, providing opportunities to explore, create, build confidence, care for animals, and develop a meaningful connection to the land, and hands on experiences throughout the seasons.
