After successfully completing six batches of the Kindergardener's program, we launched the seventh batch on January 7, 2024. During their first session, the Kindergardeners learned about sowing seeds and preparing soil.
Do you wish to teach your youngster about farming? Do you want them to know where and how their food is grown? Do you have kids who aren't afraid to get dirty, jump in and help, learn quickly, and work hard?
Families came together on the radiant morning of December 30th for an unforgettable sunrise harvest program, transforming a routine farming experience into a lively celebration of nature.
Families often find it challenging to spend quality time together, away from the distractions of modern life. Yet, there's a simple and beautiful way to connect with nature and with each other – through the act of harvesting.
On the delightful day of December 29th, 2023, a family of seven eagerly arrived at the Organo Et School Farm Campus.
In December, we organized two workshops for children at Organo Anthram, inspiring Young Minds with Art, Nature, and Sustainable Living Workshops.
Our objective at Organo Et School is to understand the importance of sustainable practices in farming and identify and implement sustainable practices on a small scale to children of all ages. We at OES introduce the concept of sustainability in farming at a very young age.
On December 10th, after weeks of learning about growing leafy greens with natural farming techniques, kindergarteners received their harvest, along with certificates to celebrate their hard work and dedication. It has been a wonderful journey for both the children and us.
New York Academy students visited our farm campus on December 8, 2023, to learn about natural farming. The 42 students, under the guidance of OES team members, the students walked through the farm pathway to reach the shaded area.
On their 5th week of the Kindergardeners Program, students visited the Organo Dairy Incubation Center, where they learned about the biogas plant and how a goshala operates. The session was highly engaging for the children, who enjoyed interacting with cows, feeding them, and participating in their care.
A delightful visit unfolded on December 1st, as 22 children from Athena Kinderhaus embarked on an educational journey to Organo Et School Farm, immersing themselves in the wonders of natural farming.
Engaging with nature and animals, especially through activities like gardening, has a powerful impact on children's mental health, as demonstrated by consistent research findings.
In their 4th session, kindergardeners learned how to create a soil mix, apply neem oil as a pesticide, and draw leaves before painting them with coffee. We were delighted to see the children returning to the farm week after week to gain knowledge on how to grow food.
On the 24th of November, Children of Diversity, The Play School, paid a visit to our farm along with their teachers. True to their school's name, the children displayed a wide range of ages and abilities, and we were delighted to facilitate a series of outdoor learning experiences for this diverse group.
On the 23rd of November, 80 students from Anthea Montessori visited the OES farm to gain insights into natural farming and safe food systems. Upon their arrival, there was a slight drizzle, and while we anticipated rain due to the clouds, fortunately, it held off, allowing us to offer a good experience for the children.
