Calling all Botanical Investigators! 🌿

Step into the field with CommunOT Farm & Programming at the beautiful Sacred Forest Farm in Osteen. Our next session of Functional Farm Science is diving deep into Nature’s Medicine Cabinet.

Kids will move beyond a nature walk and immerse themselves in the investigative study of the chemistry and botany found right in our local ecosystem. They will practice with various tools, such as field guides and magnifying lenses, to conduct a Botanical Inventory and discover the functional properties of Florida’s medicinal flora.

Designed for curious minds and young scientists, this Saturday morning session offers a unique bridge between the classroom and the wild forest.

🗓 When: Saturday, April 18 | 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM
📍 Where: Sacred Forest Farm, Osteen, FL
💰 Investment: $30 per student (Step Up for Students provider!)

We’ve been teasing a special surprise for the end of our Garden Buds sessions, and he’s finally ready for his close-up! Introducing Lightning, one of our 19-year-old Red Foot Tortoises.

Don’t let the shell fool you—he definitely lives up to his name when there is a snack involved! 🍓 Lightning is a professional hide-and-seek player in our garden plants, but he’ll come running (at tortoise speed!) for his favorite treats: Hibiscus flowers, crisp lettuce, and sweet fruit.

At the end of our Garden Buds program students will have the chance to meet Lightning, learn about his specialized habitat, and maybe even feed him some of his favorite foods they grow during our program! 🌺🥬

Our CommunOT Growth family took a trip to the store recently to hand-pick donations for Kids House of Seminole in Sanford. At CommunOT Farm, we believe that “growth” isn’t just a goal, it’s an action to keep working toward.

By engaging in this community service project, our members practiced real-world independence from following a donation list to working together on a shared budget, all while giving back to a safe haven that supports children in our own backyard. Thank you, Kids House, for all you do!

Functional Farm Science Pop Up! March 14 10-11:30 AM
Is your homeschool science curriculum ready for a "field upgrade"?

Join us at Black Hammock Farm for a high-level, hands-on agricultural lesson focused on livestock management and preventative medicine. This session is designed for students to move beyond the "petting zoo" experience into a Livestock Management Lab designed to teach students the essential skills of animal husbandry and the biological requirements of maintaining a productive, healthy herd.

The Curriculum: Clinical Assessment & Preventative Care

The Farm instructors—supported by the team from CommunOT Farm and Programming—will lead students through two critical components of professional herd management:

Body Condition Scoring (BCS): Students will learn the industry standards for evaluating sheep health and production readiness. Students will get a hands on experience with the lambs and will perform physical assessments to score muscle and fat cover, a critical skill in determining the nutritional needs and market health of livestock.

Husbandry & Preventative Medicine: Agricultural standards require strict adherence to herd health protocols. Students will learn the science behind disease prevention and experience the administration of vaccines necessary for livestock care.

For the Whole Family:
While this program is specifically designed for school-aged children, we want the whole family to be able to participate.

Ages 5+ (Participating Students): $30 Instructional Lab Fee

Ages 4 & Under: FREE with a paid older sibling. We will have a Sensory Discovery Zone available so younger siblings can engage in age-appropriate play while the older students focus on their clinical lab.

We are so excited to host this Functional Farm session with Black Hammock Farm and hope to start offering more of these in the future!
