Get outside and enjoy hands-on education with us at Homeschool on the Farm!
Stony Kill Foundation’s Homeschool on the Farm is a great way to supplement your child’s homeschool education and find a community of other local homeschooling families. This session, we will be teaching our homeschoolers about the seasonal qualities of farming, how the natural world around us interacts with our agricultural practices, and so much more. We have made some changes to the structure of our program this season, so please be sure to read the information below carefully.
