In an effort to strengthen the connections between our families, our school, and the wider community, and as a testament to our commitment to lifelong learning, the Farmstead is excited to host monthly Family Discovery Days (FDD).

These free events invite everyone to explore the Farmstead, whether you're a current family or a member of the local community who wants to experience what makes us unique. Family Discovery Days are a wonderful opportunity for families to come together, explore our 25-acre forest and farm, and participate in hands-on activities that inspire curiosity and environmental stewardship. Whether you're looking to discover something new with your children or simply enjoy a day outdoors, we welcome you to join us, bring your sense of adventure, and make lasting memories. These events are not only about connecting with nature but also about building stronger ties with our neighbors, friends, and community.

WHO: All ages, all families!  This event is 100% open to the public!

WHAT: A morning at the Farmstead full of adventure and play!

WHERE: 218 Morgan Cove Road Candler, NC 28715

WHEN: 10am-12pm

PRICE: FREEE!!!! No registration required.

Remember the saying, “there is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing choices.”  We will be there rain or shine!

Farmstead Work Parties

On the same days as FDD, the Farmstead is hosting work parties starting at 1pm.  This is an opportunity for our families and supporters to come together and give back by helping around the grounds of the school.  Work Parties will start around 1pm and go for a couple hours, or until we fizzle out.  If you come to FDD and want to stay for the work party, feel free to bring a picnic lunch for the hour in between.  FDD's that have work parties after them will have an * by the date!
