The Meeting School farm is a cornerstone of the experiential learning that we do.  Based on the principles of ecological stewardship and sustainable living, working and living on the farm offers an avenue to educate young people about land care and food production.

Working with animals and the land, and growing and raising much of the actual food that we eat, is an unrelentingly honest and authentic experience. Students learn very practical skills, work as team members, and enjoy the fruits (and veggies) of their labor. 

Farm Science class explores biology, chemistry, animal husbandry and soil science in our real-life laboratory.  Students with a real passion for the farm may also get the chance to devote an entire class block to the necessary work of the farm for a term or more.

Some students devote lots of energy and love to the farm, and become indispensable to the daily work that must be done.  Others just enjoy the relaxing presence of the land and animals, visiting them for a scratch on the back between classes.
