Early Learning, Nature Play, and Nurturing Care at Soule

First Farm Fun:

This program runs the second Tuesday of every month May – October 

Put on your boots and head to Soule Homestead! Our farm friendly story hour is back after a winter break and we couldn’t be more excited. Come meet our animals, hear a story, and make a craft. This program is geared towards ages 2-5 but siblings are always welcome.

First Farm Fun is an hour long drop-in program, no pre-registration is needed. Bring a blanket for story time or enjoy the grass. Feel free to bring a lunch to stay and picnic after the program wraps up at 11am. Restrooms, water fountain, and baby changing station located in the barn.

Soule Homestead is an organic working farm. We ask that all guests big and small wear shoes at all time and bug spray is encouraged. Any questions, email us at info@soulehomestead.org.

Past Programming Farm Buddies – this program will be back soon

Does your little one love learning and playing outdoors? Join our educator as she explores the farm and many habitats that make-up Soule Homestead. Each week we will visit a new farm animal and a new special place on the property. We will spend our time together playing, hiking, gardening, building, creating, learning new skills, telling stories, and making new friends. Farm Buddies is a drop-off program for 3 ½-6 year old children. Children will be outside in all weather, so proper clothing is essential. We are asking each family who registers to commit to attending 1 class as a parent/caregiver volunteer. This program is extremely small, spaces fill quickly. If you have any questions, please contact educator@soulehomestead.org
