Exploring & Learning Awaits on Our Farm

Welcome to The Farm and Forest Education Center at Pat’s Pastured

In today’s tech-driven world, finding balance through time outdoors is more important than ever. We believe in the transformative power of nature. Research shows that spending time in nature improves focus, physical and mental health, and brings a sense of joy to life. Our immersive outdoor experiences focus on sustainable farming to educate future citizens to lead balanced, healthy lives.

Come learn, grow, and thrive with us in nature!

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we are committed to offering fun, safe, and hands-on learning experiences for children of all ages. Through our programs, students explore where their food comes from and connect with the natural world around them. Led by our caring and well-trained educators, each program is designed to inspire curiosity and provide a memorable, positive experience on the farm.

At The Farm & Forest Education Center, everyone is welcome.

We ensure that all students have access to our farm and the learning opportunities it offers, creating a space where all can feel included, supported, and engaged.
