Land's Sake offers programming for local libraries and schools around the Metrowest and Boston area. Our programs often include stories, animal visits, crafts, and access to small farm equipment and tools.
If you are interested in having a Land's Sake Educator at your local library, preschool, elementary school, or organization, please contact education@landssake.org for more information.
Programs are capped at 30 participants per session. Each session is $175, and there is a $1/mile transportation charge, based on each round trip from the farm at 90 Wellesley Street, Weston MA. We are happy to provide scholarships for both program and transportation costs.
Please note that due to our animals' busy schedule, we cannot offer offsite chicken, rabbit, or duck programs on weekends.
