Teaching the Next Generations (K-12)

What it is: Classroom teachers have access to a free, integratable curriculum. Classes have “Pennies for Ponies” programs where they can have a huge impact with pocket change. They then get updates from the animals and projects of their choice. School groups visit the farm for virtual or in-person field trips that integrate science, ethics, and hands-on experience. Kids learn about regenerative agriculture, animal care, ecological stewardship, and what it means to be in relationship with the living world. They meet the Horses, touch the soil, see the worms working their magic in the compost and vermiculture, and leave knowing there’s another way to live.

How it supports us: Grant-funded in 2026 (pilot year), with potential for school district partnerships and fee-based programs in the future. Builds community support and long-term donor relationships with families.

How it changes the world: This is where systemic change begins. When children learn to see animals as partners and Land as family, we’re shaping the next generation’s values. These kids will grow up making different choices than we did. They’ll be the ones healing the planet in 20 years.
