Agricultural Education

We provide engaging hands-on activities for children to learn about animal husbandry, horticulture, and more in a fun environment.

Ag Ed in the Summer

This summer is exciting at Wise Owl Acres. Maryland Farm School is offering five different 4 hour programs to introduce children ages 7-12 to different aspects of farm work and life.

Soil and seeds, trees and streams, bugs and bees all play critical roles on the farm. Join us as we learn about each of these areas of farm life and how they impact your family each day!

Each program is $35 and includes all materials and supplies. You can sign up for all five for $140 and fill your summer with farm fun.
