Welcome to the “Farmily”!
Our story
While it was always in our plan to begin a school, the COVID-19 Pandemic made us realize there was a need for this kind of school now. We knew that there would be children who could not sit in front of their computer all day.
This is the school that we, Good Pickin Farm owners, would have wanted to go to as a child. It is the school that we would have thrived in. Less time sitting inside at a desk, more time outside with nature, animals, and fresh air with opportunities to learn from children of different ages, both older and younger. It is the perfect environment for the child who wants more than what the public school systems can offer.
Our Focus
We aim to inspire a lifelong love of learning, exploration, and adventure.
Outdoor Learning
Our programs immerse children in nature and farm life. Acres of Fun Preschool and Farm to Forest Homeschool programs are primarily held outdoors, while the Apple Shed Academy integrates lessons in their cozy classroom as well as outdoors.
The Farm
Nestled in Westford, our 85-acre property features fields, trails, woods and of course farm animals. This vibrant landscape serves as one of our classrooms, where children learn, play, investigate, and work each day.
Pickin’s Playground
This woodland play area fosters creativity, playtime, and imagination. It is complemented by peaceful spaces for quiet reflection, offering a balanced environment for children to explore and grow.
