Homeschool Fall Days
September 28 @ 9:00 am – October 26 @ 11:30 am
Two days. One connected, hands-on learning experience.
Let the farm do the lesson planning this fall.
Come to the farm in September to begin the learning. Return in October to see what changed, build on those discoveries and take home a pumpkin from Lexington County’s only locally grown pumpkin patch.
Homeschool Fall Days is one fall learning experience that unfolds across two visits: Tuesday, September 29, and Tuesday, October 27. Students will explore the farm in September, then return a month later to discover what has changed and build on what they learned.
This isn’t the same program offered twice. The lessons and activities will connect across both days, giving children the chance to observe real seasonal change instead of simply reading about it.
And for parents? It’s an engaging fall field trip already planned for you—with opportunities to connect with other homeschool families while your children learn, move and explore.
What Your $30 Registration Includes
One registration covers the entire two-part experience:
- Admission for one student on both September 29 and October 27
- Hands-on lessons and activities that build across both visits
- Life science, earth science, animal science, agriculture and practical math
- Reading, writing and comprehension activities connected to the fall farm experience
- Time to explore, create and learn alongside other homeschool students
- One pumpkin for each registered student to take home in October
- Free admission for parents and chaperones
That’s two educational farm days and a pumpkin for $30 per student.
Learning They Can See, Touch and Remember
A working farm gives children the opportunity to experience concepts that can be difficult to bring to life at home.
Students won’t just talk about plants, animals, weather and the changing seasons. They’ll encounter those things firsthand. They’ll make observations in September and return in October to compare, ask new questions and discover what happened next.
Across the two visits, activities will include:
Life Science and Earth Science
Explore plants, soil, weather and seasonal change through hands-on investigation and observation.
Animal Science
Interact with chickens while learning about their life cycle, care and role on the farm.
Agriculture and Math in Action
Discover how pumpkins grow and use measuring, counting, estimating and comparing in a real-world setting.
Reading, Writing and Comprehension
Build literacy skills through a fall-themed story, group discussion and connected reading and writing activities.
Creative Learning and Play
Reinforce the day’s lessons through crafts, storytelling, movement and farm games.
Designed for Homeschool Families and Co-ops
Homeschool Fall Days is created specifically for individual homeschool families and co-op groups looking for a meaningful shared learning experience.
Preschool-aged siblings are welcome to register, too—even if they have not officially started homeschooling.
Parents stay with their children and attend at no charge. You’re welcome to learn alongside them, help younger children participate or simply enjoy seeing where their curiosity takes them.
