NEXT CLASS 11/5/24
Give your child the gift of hands-on learning that goes beyond the classroom! The Barn at Smith Acres Animal Husbandry Homeschool Classes not only teach valuable life skills like animal care, medical care, breeding, and pasture management, but also foster responsibility, teamwork, and problem-solving in a real-world environment.
Here’s why your child will love it:
• Practical Skills: From building fences to incubating chickens, kids will gain practical, self-sufficiency skills they can use for life.
• Real Farm Experience: With over 50 animals to care for, every class is an adventure in learning how to manage and raise livestock.
• Smaller Class Sizes: With only 20 spots available, each child gets more one-on-one attention and a truly immersive experience.
• Physical Activity & Fresh Air: This is hands-on, outdoor learning at its best! Your child will enjoy two hours of fun, physical engagement in the fresh Florida air.
Classes fill up fast! Registration for Season Passes opens September 16th, 2024, so don’t wait! Help your child discover a world of knowledge while developing life-long skills and a love for nature.
At The Barn at Smith Acres, our mission is to provide our customers with the happiest and highest quality animal & meat products. We're committed to sustainable farming practices that protect our land and animals for future generations and growth. We believe that by supporting local agriculture, we can help build stronger and healthier communities; communities that we love to gather and teach.
Our Why?
We do it for you! It all started out for a way to raise money to support our local Veteran & First Responder Families. We are honored to say we are able to provide services, space, and retreats for them at no cost to them. ♥️ But in the process, we also fell in love with our community!
Thank you for allowing us to live out our passions and still serving those who serve!
