Summer Camp and Kids programs with Everyone Outside
We have teamed with Everyone Outside to provide a fun and interactive learning experience for kids of all ages here at our farm. In the summer, we run Farm & Forest Summer Camp and during the traditional school year, we host Everyone Outside's day-long children's programs once per week for a variety of age groups.

Daily activities include:
- Farm activities at Fire Ring Farm such as planting, harvesting and preparing food or making products with herbs such as bug spray, lotions or chapstick. - Guided, small-group nature exploration by Everyone Outside mentors in the surrounding Middlesex Land Trust Palmer Taylor Preserve, including hiking, catching frogs, nature journaling, games and natural plant identification.
- Nature-themed crafts and skills building activities such as shelter building, wood carving and building fairy houses.
- Games and friendship-building activities.
Herbal Programs and Workshops
If you are looking to find your way back to the plant path, to the herbalist’s path, Fire Ring Farm and Herbal Bones Art & Wellness invite you to join us for our Introduction to Herbalism certificate program.
The true cost for the certificate track is $880. (We accept a sliding scale payment between $440 and $880, or more to support other future herbalists.)
If you are not interested in a certificate in herbalism, you are welcome to drop in on our monthly workshops held at Fire Ring Farm; these workshops are open to everyone. Workshops are held one Sunday a month, from 10 AM to 12:30 PM.
Follow us on eventbrite to register for workshops.
Workshops are $35 / $44
