BIODYNAMIC FARM

At Living Oaks, we have a 1,000 square foot biodynamic teaching garden, which includes a food forest with over 20 different fruit trees, as well as themed gardens around the campus, including a dye garden, butterfly garden, and a 3 sisters garden. We also have a large chicken coop, apiary, greenhouse and composting area. Children in grades 1-8 attend bi-weekly gardening classes where they learn to grow and tend to our edible crops as well as dye and harvest medicinal plants. The gardening curriculum is developmentally-based and reflects the main lesson work in each grade. Food from the garden is harvested and prepared for lunches in the kitchen. All food waste is brought back to the farm to be composted and recycled into soil. We will continue to expand our gardens in the years to come.
