Hands on Learning: How To Teach Children Farming and Homesteading Skills

Leigh Merinoff

Leigh Merinoff, founder of Meadows Bee Farm, has developed an innovative hands-on learning program to educate kids about sustainable farming, self-sufficiency, and food production.

Through her Young Farmers Program, children gain practical skills in gardening, cooking, and animal care, learning about everything from seed to table. The program encourages independence, confidence, and a connection with nature, and the children love it.
