Farm Education
Farm Education
Education is our passion here at Mary’s Land Farm!
We educate children and adults on farming and its relationship to the greater environment in a fun, hands-on atmosphere. We offer opportunities to children & their caregivers, schools, daycare programs, scout groups, homeschoolers, and families up and down the East Coast. Each program is catered to the specific age group for the best hands-on experiences!

Overview
Offered year round, students will engage in hands-on farm activities either in our learning lab facility, greenhouses, or out and about on the farm! Each visit encourages groups and individuals to have lots of fun, while also learning an ongoing farm lesson or theme. Our facilities have been especially curated to create new and unique experiences for groups of all ages – allowing them to use all five senses to discover the workings of nature!
We have the added benefit of several buildings to protect from outside elements and cold weather. We are pleased to offer programs YEAR ROUND.
