Earth Day 2026: A Homeschool Day at The FARM 1780

Celebrate Earth Day on an 8th-generation working farm.

Spring on The FARM 1780 is a season of growth, new life, and real farm work — and there’s no better place to spend Earth Day than on a farm that’s been stewarding the land for more than two centuries.

Join us for a Spring Homeschool Day: Earth Day Edition, where students step into the rhythms of a true generational farm, learning by doing as they explore the plants, animals, soil, and systems that make farm life possible.

This is hands-on, boots-on-the-ground learning at its best — perfect for K–7th homeschoolers and preschoolers.

🌱 Earth Day Experiences & Farm Learning

🌿 Greenhouse Planting & Field Transplanting

Earth Day is all about caring for the planet — and students will do just that as they plant seeds in our greenhouse and help move young plants into the field. They’ll learn how farmers nurture crops, protect the soil, and steward the land from seed to harvest.

🐣 Spring Poultry Life Cycle & Animal Interaction

Spring is hatching season on the farm! Students will explore the life cycle of chickens, learn how eggs develop, and join us for a chicken interaction where they help feed and observe the birds up close.

🌍 Earth Science in Real Time

Soil, weather, pollinators, ecosystems, composting & more — Earth Day gives the perfect backdrop to study how each part of the environment works together to support food, farms, and families.

🎨 Spring Crafts & Farm Play

Age-appropriate crafts inspired by Earth Day and spring on the farm help reinforce the day’s lessons. Plus, ample time for outdoor play and exploration.

🌼 Farm Take-Home Item

Each student will leave with a spring-themed farm keepsake connected to their Earth Day learning.

What to Bring

Packed lunch • Refillable water bottle • Clothes and shoes made for outdoor fun and farm dirt

Parents attend free — explore with your kids or savor a peaceful Earth Day moment on the farm.

Space is Limited

To keep the experience hands-on and meaningful, this Homeschool Day is capped at 40 children.

Reserve your spot and celebrate Earth Day on a real, 8th-generation working farm — where learning comes alive and spring is bursting with possibility.

Hen's Night Out: Charcuterie and Cheese Board with Wine
2026-04-30 17:30 - 19:30
2026 will be our fourth year of Hen’s Night Out at The FARM 1780. This has now become a signature event. Grab your best chicks and celebrate the spring weather with us! April’s Hen’s Night Out will feature wine that’s perfect for warmer weather! These wines will be featured alongside a charcuterie and cheese board with fresh farm grown accoutrements.

What is Hen’s Night Out?

It’s a drinking with chickens event! On a trip to Key West, I saw this image in the bathroom of the historic Sloppy Joe’s bar and it inspired me to create this series of events at The FARM. I had been dreaming about a drinking with chickens event for several years and this was just the sign I needed to pull it together! It’s an excuse to get together with friends & family (or even meet some new people!), enjoy the outdoors, and experience fun on The FARM.

Hen’s Night Out is hosted at the FARMstand bar. You’ll be surrounded by hens in our blueberry field.

Each ticket includes a farm-crafted charcuterie & cheese board with farm-fresh fruit and pickled items as well as bottomless wine (wine chosen to complement the cheese board).

What people have to say about Hen’s Night Out:

“It was the coolest experience and I would definitely do it again.”

“Had a wonderful time. Loved the setting and the small group.”

“Didn’t know what to expect but y’all didn’t disappoint! Atmosphere was great, food was incredible, and the wine was yummy too! Thank you so much for putting this on – Lexington needed this!!”

This is a 21+ only event! Men are welcome (but only if you can handle it!).

Spring Homeschool Day – May 18th at The FARM 1780

A fresh, seasonal farm experience filled with hands-on learning and spring discovery.

Spring is wide awake at The FARM 1780, and our May 18th Homeschool Day invites students to explore what happens on a working farm as crops grow, berries develop, and animals settle into the season. This day offers brand-new lessons and activities—perfect for families who joined us for Earth Day and those joining us for the first time.

Every activity is rooted in the real work happening on our 8th-generation farm, giving students an authentic look at how spring unfolds from field to feather.

What Students Will Explore on May 18th

🌿 Field Work: Spring Crop Maintenance & Trellising

Instead of planting, students will roll up their sleeves for the work that comes after crops go into the ground. We’ll focus on how farmers support young plants through tasks like trellising, weeding, watering, and checking plant health. They’ll learn why these steps are essential to a strong summer harvest and how spring weather affects the choices farmers make each day.

🫐 Berry Crop Discovery: Blueberries & Blackberries

Our berry fields will be in a dynamic stage—blooms, early fruit, or berry development depending on timing. This makes May a perfect month to explore how berries form, what pollinators do, how we protect the plants, and why each growth stage matters.

Even if berries aren’t ready for picking, students will get an up-close look at the season’s progress and learn what it takes to grow fresh, local fruit.

how berries form,

what pollinators do,

the basic structure of blackberry plants and how canes grow and are cared for,

how blueberries develop from flower to fruit and what farmers watch for as the berries begin to form.

🐣 Spring Poultry Life Cycle & Animal Interaction

Students will revisit (or discover for the first time) the life cycle of chickens, learn how eggs develop, and participate in a hands-on interaction feeding chickens (and possibly turkeys). Spring is still an active, exciting season in our poultry program.

🎨 Spring Crafts & Outdoor Farm Play

Crafts will be inspired by spring on the farm—plants, berries, animals, and life cycles—with age-appropriate options for younger and older students.Plus plenty of time to run, explore, and enjoy the farm in its prettiest season.

🎁 Farm Take-Home Item

Each student will bring home a spring-themed farm keepsake connected to the day’s learning.

What to Bring

Packed lunch • Refillable water bottle • Clothes and shoes made for outdoor fun and farm dirt

Parents attend free — explore with your kids or savor a peaceful spring day on the farm.

Space is Limited

To keep the experience hands-on and meaningful, this Homeschool Day is capped at 40 children.
