A day at Cityfarm is fun and opens the children's eyes to a whole new world of possibilities! Our farm is a unique place that gets children excited about outdoor activities they may not have experienced before. In addition, our programs complement classroom instruction by providing your students with hands-on, farm-based activities within four 'communities of practice':

Soils, Plants and Foods
Animal Care
Nature on the Farm
Adventure Recreation

Cityfarm is a place where children are allowed to use real tools to practice real-life skills such as planting and harvesting vegetables, preparing, cooking, tasting food and feeding and caring for chickens. Children (and adults!) acquire new skills readily through play. Our program leaders nurture and support play as it enhances the development of competence in the participants.

As the children engage in different activities and practice new skills, many topics studied in your classroom come to life. Through group or individual reflection, connections between the practical activities and more complex concepts are made.

Cityfarm Little Green Thumbs Program

Cityfarm Edmonton is running a pilot with four schools, providing them with the materials and support for an indoor garden. The Cityfarm Little Green Thumbs Program will inspire and empower children by introducing them to the magic of growing their own vegetables and by teaching them life skills.
