Farm Babies

Fresh Future Farm
2008 Success Street
North Charleston, SC 29405

Growing up and seeing the magic that happens when a tiny seed is planted or when a worm works to create our rich & healthy soil, watching logs turn into fires that cook pizzas, and gathering flowers on walks is just part of the wonder of being a farm baby! Now your child can feel some of this too. During this six-week program, families are invited to visit each Friday with their young children to explore this urban farm and enjoy learning, play, fun, healthy snacks, and nutritious goodies to bring home! 

FULL! JOIN THE WAITLIST
