Offering science and agriculture education for Homeschool students at Cedar Circle Farm every spring and fall since the program’s inaugural year in 2015. Our farm is an incredible outdoor classroom with our production fields, forested areas, orchard, and riparian area along the Connecticut River. Together with our highly-qualified instructors, students share the experience of exploring, discovering and learning the concepts together in order to gain a deeper, scientific understanding of agriculture and ecology. Our approach utilizes hands-on activities, inquiry-based investigations, games, and experiments. Journals are provided each session for students to take notes or draw observations if they wish. *If after the first class you feel the program is not a good fit for your child, you may be reimbursed for the remaining classes. No reimbursements will be made after the second class of the session. If you have any questions, email Meredith Rivlin or please call us at (802) 785-4737.

Farm Naturalists will dive deeper into life on the farm, from plants and cycles to the intricate relationships between the farm fields and the land beyond it. Students’ curiosity drives these classes and will involve garden projects, nature journaling, developing experiments, playing games, and asking questions as we seek answers. Core content for each class will be interdisciplinary and based on Next Generation Science Standards practices alongside arts, creative writing, cooking, and exploration. Farm Naturalists will explore and experience Cedar Circle Farm through the lens of Nature Narratives. Observe and get to know the space, seek lessons to learn from our surroundings through a place-based curriculum, and create stories based on the various characters we encounter. Through this imaginative process, Farm Naturalists will better understand the relationships among living things, including how we fit into our ecosystem. Consider ways to design farming practices to cooperate with or imitate natural systems. Investigate various topics such as biomimicry, seed saving, nutrition, medicinal and functional plant uses, seasonal cycles, and stewardship. We strive to make education programs accessible to all families. If homeschool tuition is cost-prohibitive for your family, please get in touch. Sliding scales or payment plans are available.

Thickets is a place-based learning community for self-directed young people ages 5 – 8 in Montpelier, Vermont. Each day evolves differently and is created collectively as we explore the forests, parks and city. Thickets celebrates emergent, self-directed learning and nurtures children’s social-emotional growth by cultivating a culture of empathy and awareness. As the children build relationships with the land, with each other and with the community, they learn how to balance freedom with responsibility and begin the life-long process of knowing themselves as learners and as people. We run Monday – Wednesday, 8:30 – 3:30. One, two or three-day option.
