This week we held our second annual Homestead Camp here at Little City Farm. It was the idea of our daughter, to bring together other kids in the 8-12 year old range in a creative "farmstead" setting while sharing some of the projects that we like to do around here. The outdoor day camp was held each morning, including co-operative games, garden harvested snacks (like herbal sun tea, pesto and a rainbow veggie platter, made by the kids), and a hands-on activity from the day's theme - including pollinators (making seedballs); natural plant dyes (tie-dying a favourite shirt), natural fibres (making a branch weaving, and felting a bar of soap); and finally wood-fired baking (making pizza in our outdoor oven)! What fun! We hope to do this again next year!
For the fall, we have
kids Waldorf-inspired art classes and
mother-daughter herbal immersion classes coming up again; as well as our new line-up of
family homesteading classes like cheesemaking, sourdough, kraut for kids, and more! Registration will be open soon.
Here are some snapshots from our days at Homestead Camp this week:
