Welcome to Little Brook Farm School

We are excited to share our beautiful animals and peaceful country setting with you! Farm school classes will focus on a variety of topics pertinent to homesteading. The majority of class time will be spent outdoors and students will have plenty of hands-on time with our farm animals, including our goats, sheep, mini horse, and/or mini pigs. We recommend wearing boots and clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty while visiting. Avoid loose-fitting clothing, long necklaces and wear hair ties; goats like to nibble! Note that premises may be muddy and farm animals are not potty-trained.
