Step back in time and experience the past in a truly immersive way with Homeschool History at the Farm Park. This program series combines historical learning with practical, hands-on activities that bring history to life. Each class will cover a different theme from the Farm Park’s history, in which students will gain a deeper understanding of historical practices by actively engaging with the tools and techniques used in day-to-day life. Your child will leave with a richer understanding of history—and a greater appreciation for the simple joys of farm life. This Fall, children will get to enjoy a whole new set of historical themes, so be on the lookout for when they’re announced!
Join us on a delicious journey through the past, exploring the fascinating stories behind the foods people grew, gathered, prepared, and enjoyed throughout history. With a special focus on harvest time, kids will discover how families prepared for the changing seasons, preserved their food, and made the most of what they had available. They’ll also uncover the surprisingly exciting history of one of everyone’s favorite treats: hot cocoa! Through stories, historical exploration, and hands-on activities, students will discover that food is more than something we eat – it can tell us about people, places, traditions, survival, and the world of the past.
This is a drop off program, but parents are welcome to hang around the Farm Park during the class. Please be sure to dress for the weather and bring water.
