Welcome to Homesteading 101

Discover the enriching world of homesteading with our after-school program designed to cultivate young minds and sow the seeds of sustainability.

About Homesteading 101

Our program is especially designed for children aged 6-12 years-however, all are welcome to attend. A parent or legal guardian is required to be present with their child at ALL TIMES, this is NOT a daycare service.
Parents and children under 2 come free!

Everyday we will begin with the pledge of allegiance and an opening prayer. We will then do our daily chores caring for our vegetable gardens and meat rabbits.

Next comes instruction time broken up into 15 minute sections with hands on activities and art projects.
Students will have opportunities to lead the class, share in their own words what they've been learning, show & tell, participate in community service projects and run the farm stand.

Classes are held in the evening from 4-5:30pm

If you would like to review the 6 month curriculum plan, please request it from Sabrina Bingham.

Sustainability Initiatives

We teach practical skills for sustainable living, including composting, raised gardening beds, tray sprouting, meat rabbits and foraging.

Hands-On Learning

Your kids can get their hands dirty with real-life farming experiences, from planting seeds to raising meat rabbits. We have several building projects and can't wait to have you join us!

Outdoor Exploration

Our program encourages a love for nature through exploratory activities in gardens and natural habitats.

Your kids can learn how to identify the natural wildlife and plants of our area.

• Learning through Doing, Feeling, and Thinking
  Farm work builds resilience, focus, fine and gross motor skills, and problem-solving through movement and rhythm. Learning how our food is grown and taking care of it helps our children to gain a sense of gratitude for the basic needs in life and the world around them.
  

• Integrated Academics
  Math, science, geography, and language arts come alive through practical, land-based applications.
  
  
• Connection to Place
  Through caring for plants, animals and one another, your kids learn that the land is not only something to tend, but also something to be in relationship with. Each interaction on the farm becomes an opportunity to give back, whether through watering, weeding, caring for a rabbit or chicken or simply offering gratitude. This nurtures a sense of responsibility as land stewards.
  
  
• Social-Emotional Growth
  Shared tasks build collaboration, confidence, and a deep sense of contribution to something larger than oneself. Everyone has something to give, each of us are needed to care for the world and the animals God has given us.

At a dinner party on Wednesday, friends wanted stories about my experience on a farm.

Sabrina was in every story I shared. She taught me how to care for the animals and the land in a unique, deeply loving, and realistically practical way.

Learning about homesteading has changed my life.

I am more grounded, present, grateful, and connected with the world around me, even now as a girl in the 'big city'.

Farming and gardening are just the start. These traditional skills are sustainable and the foundation for self-sufficiency.

I highly recommend boosting your children's confidence, knowledge, and skills through homestead 101 with Sabrina.

Sabrina's knowledge of local wildlife and vegetation has helped me and my children explore safely through nature! Helps to know what plants are poisonous and which are okay to touch.

Sabrina’s homeschool group was super fun for my daughter and I. It was fun for us to go see cows and learn about them as well as try some raw milk. My daughter who was 12-18 months at the time enjoyed seeing the cows up close. We also went to the orchard which was fun for the kids to explore together and have our guide teach about the different trees. We also went to Bear World and saw the different animals there, then saw the dinosaur exhibit. Again we had a guide teaching us about the dinosaurs. Sabrina provided activity sheets to continue the fun and education at home to review what we just learned about. This was a really great experience to learn from Sabrina and those in the community as well as enjoy the social aspect for both children and adults. I definitely recommend Sabrina’s homeschool group.

-Taylor Adams

Sabrina has a gift for combining learning with interesting adventures and hands-on projects. She has taught my children much about nature, animals and agriculture, and I am always amazed at her creativity, enthusiasm and preparation. In my experience, she is a skilled educator with practice handling diverse ages organizations and needs.
-Heather Brinkerhoff

Sabrina is one of the most knowledgeable person I know on how to create and maintain a homestead. She was the one who stood by my side to help process a couple of my chickens last year (2025)! What seemed intimidating turned out to be very light-hearted and instructive. She teaches in a manner that’s very easy for my ADHD brain to comprehend!
