Hands-on farm and nutrition education delivered right to your school!
Are you interested in bringing farm and food education to your school? Stonewall Farm has been a pioneer in farm-based education for nearly 30 years, partnering with local schools to connect students with food, farming, and the natural world. Whether you are starting a school garden, expanding an existing program, or simply looking for ways to bring hands-on food and agriculture learning into your classroom, our team can help.
Garden-Based Learning
Best for schools with an existing or developing garden
Students bring the school garden to life through hands-on planting, harvesting, and lessons that build observation, collaboration, and environmental stewardship.

★ 14 one-hour, SWF educator-led lessons at your school (7 in spring, 7 fall)
★ Lessons aligned with classroom learning goals
★ Option to swap one on-site lesson for a two-hour fi eld trip to SWF
★ Optional visits from small farm animals (i.e. chicks, bunny)
**Featured option: Grade 1 (spring) & Grade 2 (fall). A ready to go, 2 season model with pre-designed scope and sequence. Includes 16 one-hour lessons (8 in spring, 8 in fall) at the standard Garden-Based Learning rate.
Farm to Classroom
Ideal for schools without garden space
No garden? No problem! Students explore regenerative farming and healthy food choices through experiential, classroom-based lessons. Topics may include pollinators, composting, animal life cycles, cooking and nutrition, seeds, and more.
