About our Tuesday Homeschoool Session
Register for all three seasons at once and receive a discount!
The general theme for 2025-2026 will be Self-Sufficiency and Markets. This will include learning how to meet their everyday needs through handmade and hand-grown products or through trading in markets. Products and skills could include knitting, sewing, building, woodcraft, arts, cooking/food preparation, the use of natural and local materials, and much more. The market aspect would include understanding the value of products, trading, packaging, marketing, communication, and everything else that would ensure a successful and fair market.
Within this theme, the program will be farm-, ecology-, and STEAM-based. It will incorporate activities and lessons that enable students to explore farming a wide variety of plants, as well as preparing and cooking much of this produce. Students will also learn how to harvest and prepare other resources on the farm and throughout the ecosystems. Being on the farm year-round will also give the students a sense of purpose, and they will be integral in helping grow food for food pantries.
In addition, students will explore the science of nature, which includes animals, plants, water systems, geology, weather, ecosystems, fire, biomimicry, and more. These lessons may include communication, adaptations, climate change, pollinators and bees, cooking skills and food uses, wild edible plants, dyes, structures of natural materials, natives and invasives, and so much more.
Every week will also include some sort of adventure activity, such as hiking, shelter building, orienteering, map-making, knot tying, and more.
Since these explorations will also be STEAM-based, students can expect to use literature, arts, math, engineering, and games to dive deeper into concepts as well as to express themselves. Students will often design solutions to problems presented in lessons or found throughout the farm.
The time on the farm will also be about socializing and following children’s interests. The lead teacher and education team will modify lessons based on these needs and interests, as well as create new ones.
Each child will be registered as part of an FHHF program.
Family Involvement
In addition to a weekly newsletter, families will be invited to participate in monthly markets or meals prepared by the groups. And if family members have specific skills in self-sufficiency they would like to share, we would love to create a space and time for that sharing.

Registration and Tiered Pricing
1. SELECT YOUR PRICE TIER
We strive to make educational programming accessible to all ages. Tiered pricing allows families to choose the price that is right for their family, while also becoming more aware of the costs associated with putting on educational programs for each child. This program is voluntary and families are free to choose the tier that best suits their financial situation.
What are the tiers?
Tier A: Cost to run program + contribution to support tiered pricing
Tier B: Cost to run program
Tier C: Reduced price
If your family is unable to meet Tier C pricing, they can apply for additional scholarship funding through the Frank H. White Scholarship Fund.
If your family can choose a higher tier, it allows more children to access programming. Your support allows Friends of Holly Hill Farm to better utilize the charitable contributions we need to operate our non profit organization and continue with our mission of growing food for our community, educating all ages, and caring for this precious land and beloved barnyard animals. When you select Tier A, the portion of your payment above the cost of the program is tax deductible.

A: No. Register for all three session together to receive your discount. When you register fall program payment is due in full at time of registration. Winter payments can be paid on or before December 1, 2025, and spring on or before February 1, 2026.
Q: The session has already started can my child still sign up?
A: Yes, simply sign up and email our office and we'll refund the difference for the sessions missed.
Q: How do I register?
A: New families who have not registered in 2022-2025 will need to set up a household account. Returning families simply login and make updates as needed and register. We always recommend setting up your account, loading all your children's health forms, checking your account and your children's info, etc.. in advance of registration day to help save you the time!
Q: I tried preregistering but it doesn't recognize my email?
A: If you already set up a household account on our registration site in 2022-2025, simply log in with the email you used. You can reset your password if needed. If you have not signed up for a program in in the past then set up a new account. Issues resetting your password? email us at programs@hollyhillfarm.org
Q: What if I don't have my child's health care letter from their provider? Or it is old? Or they haven't had a physical yet this year?
A: You must submit a letter to complete your registration online - the system will not let you skip this step. State and local health administrations require us to receive and review these letters and visits/letters must be current (less than 16 months from the start of their program). Upload the most recent copy you have when registering. Later on go back into your child's profile and scroll to the bottom to upload their new new letter (make sure to do this by September 1, 2025).
Q: I already uploaded their physician's letter on this site before. Why do I need to again?
A: We are required to review recent letters prior to each program. As long as your letter/visit is dated less than 16 months from start of session you are registering for, it is good in our system for 6 months.
Q: I attached my child's physical/immunization letter and the window keeps popping up. It doesn't say it was uploaded.
A: Sometimes the system does that due to a technical glitch - even though the upload went through correctly. If for some reason your letter upload didn't go through it will prompt you to upload again at check out. If it does not prompt you, then you are all set. If it continues to give you issues you should make sure your file type meets the requirements it states. (JPG, PNG, DOC, DOCX and PDF files accepted)
Q: Due to documented exemptions my child only has their annual physical letter but no vaccination records. What do I do?
A: Upload a copy of the physician's recent physical letter with the child's clearance to participate in school, or sports, camps (missing the vaccination records) and a copy of the religious exemption document. If you have questions direct to programs@hollyhillfarm.org
Q: My child has allergies and/or may require medicine. Is there a form I need to complete?
A: Our Medicine Authorization Form, found on our program registration site should be completed by September 16, 2024. FHHF staff can only administer EpiPens and inhalers. We do not administer any other form of medication.
Q: Is this a drop off or can I stay with my child?
A: Fall programming is a drop-off program. However, of course, if you child needs help easing in we understand if they need a little help from you!

A: Yes, you can register for a waitlist for the week(s) you want on the registration site. We will notify interested applicants if openings become available based on the order received.
