Visit The Farm
At Leaning Post Acres, children learn best by getting their hands dirty, asking questions, and experiencing farm life firsthand. Our farm-based programs give children opportunities to explore animals, plants, food, nature, and the everyday work of a working farmstead.
From Toddler Tuesdays, where our youngest visitors can safely explore and connect with farm life alongside a grown-up, to Future Farmsteaders, our agricultural science program for ages 4–16, each experience is designed to meet children where they are and encourage curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning.
Explore our programs and find the experience that's right for your child.
