In facilitating healthy social and emotional development, OMF is committed to providing at-risk protective factors to children through structured, educational experiences using animals, agriculture, gardens and natural resources.
Our Primary Goal:
To teach children responsibility and respect for themselves, other people, animals and the environment. We obtain our teaching goal with children through educational experiences presented in a positive, hands-on farm setting. Lessons in world geography, mathematics, healthcare and nurturing, safety and self restraint, writing mechanics, better communication skills, life-cycles and interconnectedness of all living things, history, recycling/composting and better land management are also taught.
