Why visit Little Flower Farms?

Our family farm is a homestead. We are working to cultivate and nurture the land in such a way that the life of the soil, the animals and the plants all work together, feeding and enriching the life of each. Students will get a chance to feed our goats and chickens and collect eggs. We can share our garden and students can help out where the season permits. We can also look at how rural composting differs from the city compost, working with it while visiting the garden.

Why visit the Herbal Hearth?

Located on the banks of the Wheaton River and surrounded by mountains on all sides, the Herbal Hearth invites students to connect with both wild and cultivated land. Interactive tours of the berry and vegetable gardens explore garden ecology, edible weeds, permaculture principles, and food sovereignty. Sustainable harvest of Boreal plants from the gardens and surrounding forest can also be included. Garden preparation, planting, compost making, worm feeding, harvesting and river quiet time are all possible activities depending on group and season.

We have been teaching fermentation and herbalism to kids and adults since 2016 and can tailor the tour to your curriculum. We also offer classroom visits and can teach how to make sauerkraut, herbal preparations or ID wild plants.
