A Hands-On Way to Experience Farm Life

Adult Farm Club gives adults meaningful access to animals, agriculture, practical skills, and everyday life at Hidden Pastures.

Each 90-minute session includes guided instruction, hands-on participation, and time to enjoy the animals, outdoors, and community around you.

You do not need to arrive knowing how to handle a horse, care for livestock, grow a garden, or complete a farm project.

Learning is part of the experience.

Learn by Doing

Activities may include:

Animals & Horsemanship

Horse grooming and handling, animal care, equine body language, and appropriate interaction with the herd.

Farm Skills

Pasture management, basic farm skills, animal enrichment, and practical hands-on work.

Growing & Seasonal Projects

Gardening, seasonal farm projects, and activities connected to what is happening on the farm at that time of year.

Shared Farm Experience

Spend time alongside other adults in a relaxed, purposeful farm setting where conversation and connection can develop naturally through shared activity.

Activities vary based on season, weather, animal needs, and current farm projects.

Learn Something New. Meet New People. Spend Time Outside.

You do not need a particular reason to join Adult Farm Club.

Some participants may come because they love horses. Others may be interested in gardening, livestock, practical farm skills, or simply doing something different.

Adult Farm Club creates space to try new things, ask questions, build skills, spend time outdoors, and connect with people who share an interest in animals and farm life.

An Experience — Not a Work Shift

Adult Farm Club is not a volunteer work session.

While participants may complete meaningful farm projects, activities are selected and guided to create an enjoyable, educational farm experience.

If your primary goal is to contribute labor and help with the work Hidden Pastures needs completed, Volunteer Farm Hours are the better fit.

Love animalsHave always wanted to learn about horsesEnjoy being outdoorsWant to learn practical farm skillsAre curious about agriculture or animal careEnjoy hands-on activitiesWant to meet other adults with similar interestsWant a meaningful hobbyLike learning by doingSimply want more farm in your life

No previous experience is required.
