Roaming Chickens
At Faithful Harvest, our commitment to nature-based learning extends to our feathered friends as well. We are proud to have a flock of free-range chickens roaming our campus, adding a delightful touch of rural charm to our environment. Students have the opportunity to interact with these friendly birds, learning about responsibility, animal care, and the importance of sustainable practices firsthand. It's just another way we integrate the natural world into the fabric of our educational experience, fostering a deeper connection to the environment and the creatures that inhabit it.
Play Set and Fire Pit
Outdoor fun is an essential part of our curriculum. With a welcoming fire pit and a well-equipped play set, students have the perfect spots for cozy gatherings and active play. Whether sharing stories around the fire or enjoying imaginative adventures on the play set, our outdoor spaces foster social interaction, creativity, and friendship bonds.
Raised Bed Garden
Our raised bed garden provides students with the opportunity to cultivate their green thumbs and learn about the wonders of gardening. From planting seeds to harvesting fresh produce, students are actively involved in every stage of the growing process. This experiential learning not only teaches valuable life skills such as responsibility and patience but also fosters a deeper appreciation for the environment and where our food comes from.
Serene Pond
Our spring-fed pond serves as a natural classroom, inviting students to explore and discover the wonders of aquatic life. Since the pond never freezes over in winter, it is also a great place to observe migrating birds. Surrounded by native flora and fauna, the pond provides a tranquil setting for hands-on learning experiences, student exploration, discovery, and environmental stewardship.
