About Farms for City Kids
Farms For City Kids, a non profit organization in Reading, Vermont that provides an outdoor classroom for urban youth. This program combines classroom study with firsthand farming experience on a 1,000 acre farm called Spring Brook Farm that supports 100 registered Jersey cows, 42 milking cows that produce over 600,000 pounds of milk each year. The farm has horses, sheep, goats, chickens, roosters, pigs, and turkeys.
The farm sells hay, sweet corn, chickens and turkeys seasonally, as well as a full vegetable garden including peas, corn, tomatoes, pumpkins and potatoes. A small orchard plus a greenhouse and raspberry and blueberry bushes keep the kids quite busy. In addition to this the farm has it own honey bee hives, which help pollinate as well as produce honey. And typical to being a Vermont farm, Spring Brook has over 3,500 sugar maple taps on trees, so that kids can learn how to harvest and boil down delicious maple syrup.
The educational programs at Farms for City Kids are free and includes a weeklong residential experience. The typical ages are from 8-12.
