Growing Green (Ages 9-14)
Growing Green ~MD
The Growing Green program gives campers the full farm experience, including raising animals humanely, using traditional growing practices, and eating local. Campers will get down and dirty weeding, plowing the bedrows, transplanting, composting, and taking care of farm animals. We want to be self-sufficient and teach sustainability with managing our hay fields, produce garden, and livestock on our farm.
