Bee Guardians

Our hive of bees swarmed bringing deeper learning to our bee caring. We continue to observe and admire the vibrational dances of the bee in our lavender patch. We want to support our smallest community members who bring life to us in crucially significant relationship. We plan to continue our guardianship journey in the future with hopes of a swarm to come and fill the open hive sanctuary space.

Heartberries

Heartberries began in 2021 at Shy Acre Farm as an outdoor, farm-based early learning program for toddlers ages 2–4. Rooted in emergent curriculum and nature-based education, the program supported families through flexible, community-centered childcare grounded in play, connection, and intergenerational relationships.

The program is currently on development hiatus, with plans to relaunch in summer 2027

Junior Farmers

Shy Acre Farm started this reciprocally supportive community program in the summer of 2021. They continue to adaptively create this farm community program together as a voluntary exchange. This includes valuing the whole family into the equation of active participation.

We are planning to re-open this program for month-long sessions in June and August 2026.
