What is a Learning Farm?
An immersive learning experience like no other
At Mind-Full Meadows Learning Farm, we offer a variety of programs with the goal of providing a learning haven for children and their families. From our Nature Preschool to our Summer Break enrichment camps, all programs at Mind-Full Meadows include interactions with or immersion in a beautiful natural environment.
You can wander in the woods, listening to the song of the Towhee, trek up the hill as the woodpecker taps out a rhythm, cross the log bridge over the trickle from spring rains, perch in the clubhouse and watch the hummingbirds flit between flowers, wander the creek bed, rich with clay and mystery. All of this and cute farm animals on three acres on the edge of Eugene. A working farm on site integrates permaculture principles with innovative educational practices to produce unique learning opportunities. Mind-Full Meadows has something for everyone.
The site offers much to explore including Douglas Fir and Oregon White Oak forests, an array of native wildflowers, a seasonal creek, small playground, organic gardens, wooded adventure trail, covered outdoor spaces, open meadow, well-used greenhouse, and animal enclosures. Children have the opportunity to engage with small farm animals, including chickens of many breeds and sizes, Muscovies, ducks, a Great Pyrenees, and Nigerian Dwarf goats!
Developed for children and their adults, Mind-Full Meadows is a place of possibilities.
