Sprouts Farm School(formerly Rescue Ranch School) is a unique learning experience for children ages 2-6, where farm life comes to life! Through weekly hands-on sessions, kids connect with nature, meet our rescued animals, and discover the joys of sustainable farming. Each week brings a new adventure with activities designed to inspire compassion, curiosity, and creativity.

At Sprouts, kids are part of the action! From collecting eggs and helping with simple farm chores to planting seeds and exploring the garden, every activity is an opportunity to learn through doing. These hands-on experiences teach responsibility, teamwork, and a love for the outdoors—all while having fun and making lasting memories.

Meet the Animals

Our rescued farm animals are at the heart of everything we do. Each week, kids are introduced to a different animal and their unique story. Whether it’s cuddling with a goat, brushing a donkey, or meeting a chicken up close, these special interactions teach kindness and empathy. Children learn how to care for animals and the role they play in sustainable and ethical farming.

Grow and Harvest

Sprout’s Garden Program invites kids to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty! Each child tends their own garden space, learning how to plant, water, and harvest fruits, vegetables, and herbs. They’ll explore how food grows, why it matters, and the connection between farming and healthy living. Gardening builds patience, responsibility, and pride while inspiring a lifelong love for nature.

Generosity and Compassion

Sprouts is more than just a program—it’s a community. Through shared experiences, children and families connect with each other and with the world around them. From caring for animals to nurturing plants, kids learn that small actions can create big change. By fostering kindness and empathy, Sprouts inspires the next generation to value compassion, sustainability, and a sense of responsibility for a better world.

Building a Community

At Sprouts Farm School, we learn how to be kind and work together, just like the animals who live here. We practice sharing, helping our friends, and listening to each other so everyone feels safe and included. When we connect with one another, we build friendships and make our farm a happy place to learn and grow.
