Farm Family Hours
Where Learning Thrives
Farm Family Hours
All families of Baltimore City Public Schools students and staff are welcome to Farm Family Hours, where families are invited to immerse themselves in nature and agriculture! Visit the farm for an unforgettable experience as you meet the friendly animals, connect with the land, learn about sustainable farming practices, and embrace the joys of outdoor exploration.
Friends of Great Kids Farm provides critical support to keep these offerings free and accessible to all students in Baltimore City, but these programs are managed and led by Farm to School staff, part of Baltimore City Public Schools’ Food & Nutrition Services.

"Students engaged in so many different kinds of hands on learning. They were also in an environment that is so different from their school / home environment in the city–the change in scenery is so wonderful!"
–Teacher from field trip, AR 2022
“It was fun when we got to do a taste of the foods and did a tour of the goats.”
–Student from field trip
“My biggest takeaway from the event was that culture and food are very connected. I have learned that food can really reflect important things from our history and tell a story.”
–Student from Foodways Summit
