about young pioneers
At Young Pioneers Farm & Nature School, children ages 3–10 learn in a 100% outdoor environment with covered areas for year-round comfort. As a true farm and nature school, our classrooms are the working farm, garden, and outdoor kitchen, where students care for animals, tend plants, and explore the natural world.
At-home curriculum
The Web of Life Curriculum Subscription is for parents of school children ages 5 to 10 who want to break the mold and have their children learn to cook delicious meals, plant and harvest gardens and discover how everything in nature works together through outdoor education to supplement their existing curriculum.

When we bought the farm in 2018, we inherited a wonderful group of animals that have since become part of our family. They absolutely love meeting visitors and getting some attention! We're not a formal petting zoo, but everyone is welcome to stop by and say hello during our Farm Stand hours.
We have pigs, sheep, ducks, goats, chickens, bunnies!

We do not offer U-Pick. We harvest everything the day before and morning of the Farm Stand so everything is as fresh and as ripe as possible. Packed with flavor!
