This class meets once a week to offer fun farm-themed topics on a rotating schedule. Classes are created with little attention spans in mind, and also for minimal required learner materials (pencil and paper for drawing). Small class size means that learners will have plenty of time for verbal interactions, as well as questions and answers. With the ongoing format, learners can stay enrolled for the whole series of topics, or drop in and out for individual classes as their schedule allows. See below for detailed class descriptions. Upcoming class schedule (in brief): Week of 12/9: "The Little Lost Llama" Story and Drawing Time Week of 12/16: Christmas on the Farm Week of 12/30: Up on the Housetop: Reindeer Paws?!

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been homesteading for more than two decades: living on a timber farm, raising a garden, wildcrafting from forage, and raising various animals, including: horses, dairy goats, waterfowl, turkeys, chickens, rabbits, dogs, and cats. I also served as a veterinary assistant for seven years in a small animal clinic.
