At The Porte and through our Mobile Arts & Ag Learning Lab, we bring unforgettable hands-on experiences directly to schools, youth organizations, camps, libraries, and community spaces, or welcome groups onto our farm for immersive field day adventures filled with creativity, agriculture, wellness, and FUN!

​

Whether we’re transforming a school parking lot into a mobile learning lab or guiding students through our farm trails and activity stations onsite, youth participants dive into engaging experiences that connect them to nature, food systems, conservation, creativity, and community.  Students explore farming, gardening, composting, pollinators, herbal wellness, foodscapes, and sustainable agriculture through exciting, NC standards aligned activities designed to inspire curiosity and confidence.

​

Our Arts 2 YOUth experiences encourage self-expression and teamwork through painting, rhythm and jam sessions, improv games, and creative wellness activities, while Farm 2 YOUth introduces students to future farmer pathways, environmental stewardship, and hands-on plant and soil exploration.

​

And of course, no visit is complete without meeting our friendly goats! From goat cuddles and outdoor games, to interactive arts and ag stations, every experience is designed to help students learn, laugh, create, connect, and grow in a way they’ll remember long after the day ends.
