This pint-sized pK-5th grade private learning farm is situated on a beautiful 3-acre site in the Lorane Valley, on the edge of Eugene, Oregon. The programs integrate farming practices, animal care, responsible choices, and making things (FARM) with science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM), and CCSS-aligned academics to create naturally engaging learning opportunities.
With small groups of students and two full-time teachers, instruction is organized to best address student learning needs. Classes range from gardening science and social studies to music and art. Individualized academic instruction is delivered at a student's present level or above.
Those students enrolled in monitored academic courses follow a process to ensure instruction meets the child's needs. This results in an instructional level based on grade-level knowledge rather than age.
Children in the academic program are guided as they move forward with self-paced units combining STEAM-infused CCSS-aligned academic content connected with relevant ideas in a project-based manner.

Thoughtful questions from parents and adventurous interactions with children at the first round of Mind-Full Meadows summer camps shifted Tiffany's plans from simply leading camps to altering her career and developing a learning space like no other. By taking a leap and collaborating with students and and parents alike, Mind-Full Meadows became the home to a developing STEAM-Powered Learning Farm!
Circumstances in our world are such that all of us have taken the time to think creatively about how we can best meet the educational and social-emotional needs of children in our lives. The benefits of an education founded in a robust relationship with the natural environment are many, and the integration of FARM concepts with a rigorous STEAM framework results in highly engaged learning.
Read a 5th grader's description of their Mind-Full Meadows experience:
Mind-Full Meadows STEAM-Powered Learning Farm enrolls children from kindergarten through 5th grade, and can include older siblings up to age 13 if their younger sibling is co-enrolled.
