Welcome to Free Spirit Farm School

Here at the farm, we believe in creating and inspiring lasting relationships between our participants and nature. By cultivating child-led learning in a natural setting, we aim to educate the whole child which includes their physical, emotional, social and intellectual needs. 

Our beautiful 4-acre farm in Wake Forest, North Carolina provides an abundant resource for children to explore, learn, and grow at their own pace; while also giving them the space to ground themselves with the roots they need to live intentional lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age groups do you serve?

We currently serve children ages 2-6, with plans to grow and offer continuing education programs to elementary homeschool children.

How can I enroll my child?

You can enroll your child by contacting us through our website or visiting our farm school for more information. We highly encourage a site tour to come explore the farm, meet with our team and see for yourself the magic our space has to offer!

What do you do when there is inclement weather?

At Free Spirit Farm School, we believe there is no such thing as bad weather-just poor choice in clothing! Upon registering, each family will receive recommendations for tried and true kid-friendly outdoor gear to help keep your child warm/cool, dry and happy throughout the changing seasons. In addition, we may have gently used clothing and gear available for any families to use. Lastly, we do have an indoor classroom space we will utilize during any weather we deem to be unsuitable or unsafe, or whenever we feel so inclined to use it!
