Family Fun on the Farm!

Angelic Organics Learning Center offers programs on a vibrant, working farm for all ages. Learn about organic gardening, animal care, making healthy food from scratch, and so much more!

Summer break is just a short month away.  Have you started to consider how you will prevent summer boredom blues in your kids?  Why not try something different and take your kids to a working organic farm!  Kids have a blast working with the goats, chickens, horse, cows, ducks and worms and learning about how to grow healthy veggies, milk the goats to make ice cream, and make new friends (both human and non)!  

Check our website for our complete summer schedule, including summer day camps, day-long workshops and overnight camping trips for families.  There is something for everyone at Angelic Organics Learning Center!
