More About the Learning Farm

The Prairie Crossing Learning Farm

The mission of the Prairie Crossing Learning Farm is to educate and inspire people to value healthy food, land and community through experiences on our farm. The Learning Farm is one of the only organic farms in Lake County to offer educational opportunities to children. It uses three acres of land, several greenhouses, a children's garden, and a henhouse as outdoor classrooms. Learning Farm education programs rely on a staff that has expertise in both agriculture and teaching.

The Learning Farm is located within Prairie Crossing, a conservation community in Grayslake, Illinois, widely recognized for its preservation of open land and sustainable agriculture.

We offer a variety of programs at our farm. For more information visit our website at http://www.pclearningfarm.org/.

Why this blog?

We created this blog to better communicate with our Henhouse Helpers and others who volunteer their time to help care and tend to our flock of hens. We receive many questions/comments and/or observations regarding the hens. This blog will allow us to post these questions and respond so that all can be informed and learn about our hens.
