What teachers are saying:

"Kayben Farms provided my Kindergarten students with hands on exploration of how plants grow. The program is very child-centered and is engaging to all children and adults alike. My students were so excited to be digging in the dirt and loved having the opportunity to sample fresh fruit and vegetables. They also loved the play apparatus that was available to them after the tour. For a fun filled day of learning, I would highly recommend Kayben Farms programs to all children and grade levels." -Lisa Dmytriw, Kindergarten Teacher at St. Mary’s School
