School Visits

The Country Experience is a prepared farm environment where children experience life and learn about themselves, their abilities, and their place in the world.

As a partner to teachers and schools, we support your efforts to guide the children, to meet their developmental, intellectual and social needs.

Our facilities and programs are built to allow you and your class inside the fences, where children care for the animals, gardens and each other.  We base our activities on the real-life of the farm, so instead of “imagine you need to….,” we actually go out and do it, feed the animals, plant and harvest in the garden, prepare, serve and clean-up after meals, along with lots of free-range fun.  

The best visits start with a conversation about your school’s needs and possibilities.  Please call Ed at 312-852-7400, or email ed@thecountryexperience dot com.  When the time is right, we are more than happy to come to your school to talk with parents, teachers, administration and other stakeholders.
