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 (formerly Rescue Ranch School) 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.
Childhood Should Be Filled with Wonder

Childhood should be filled with muddy boots, curious questions, gentle animals, growing gardens, and unforgettable adventure, not just screens and schedules.
At Sprouts Farm School, children ages 2–6 spend each week exploring nature, caring for rescued animals, growing food, making friends, and discovering the joy of learning through hands-on experiences. Every visit helps build confidence, compassion, and a lifelong love for the outdoors.
