We schedule one homeschool day per month and encourage individual homeschoolers, co-ops, and small school groups to attend these events. These events have homeschool stations for the following age groups: K-2, 3-5th, 6-8th, and 9-12th grades. The gates open at 9:45am and learning station lessons begin at 10:15am. Tickets go fast and should be purchased in advance on our website to guarantee a spot!
We’re so excited to share that Wesley Wells Farm is now an approved direct provider for Step Up For Students! That means families using Step Up scholarships can now use their funds toward meaningful, hands-on learning experiences right here on the farm including Horse Camp, Farm Camp, Homeschool & Field Trip Days.
Our goal has always been to create a place where kids can learn, explore, and connect with agriculture in a real and memorable way—and this opens the door for even more families to be part of it.
If you’re a Step Up family, we’d love to have you join us this season!
