Youth Programs
Our youth programs hold a special place in our heart and on our farm. Through our various programs, we hope to inspire a deeper connection to the earth, the lore of past ages, to rediscover lost skills, and to build community and chivalry within the hearts of all who participate.
Open Arena Nights are hosted on the farm every first and third Saturdays 6-9 pm beginning in September. These events are open to the whole family! Come and hang on the farm while the kids (and adults) battle to their hearts content. BYOB and/or bring a picnic dinner to enjoy. Folding chairs or blankets are encouraged. Water and light refreshments provided.
Cost is $25 per family
