Love and Livestock

Who are your animal allies and natural teachers? If you could be any animal at the farm, which one would it be and why? What purpose do the animals serve at the farm?

Campers meet and learn about the many different species on the farm and how each of them play an important role in the farms ecosystem. We will focus on the varied livestock, the purpose they serve and how the farmer balances management and mindfulness. We will expand our thinking about the world to include animals and our relationships with them. We will spend time learning what our animals produce or purpose they serve (fiber, food, therapy, land management and/or companionship) and how we benefit from each. We will learn about nature-based mindfulness and how we integrate these practices into everyday life on the farm. Walks in the woods, hike with the animals and other nature activities . By the end of the week, Campers will have developed an understanding of the relationships farmers have with their animals and the careful balance of the farms ecosystem .
