The Owens Farm is located on Chester St. in a 225 year old farmhouse. The farm houses goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, bunnies, horses, dogs and cats. All of our animals have come to us in some type of need. Our horses were no longer needed or too old for riding, our goats were about to become homeless, our dogs were rescues, and we do not eat any of our animals! We do eat the eggs.
Jeremy and Becky are the farm owners and they have 5 children ranging in ages of 6-20. They have home schooled off and on for years and really love and appreciate the flexibility of home schooling. Jeremy is a higher education administrator and also the Chairman of the Board of Selectman in Chester. He holds a PhD in Psychology.
Becky is homeschooling the kids, and also adjuncts at nearby colleges and universities. She holds a BA in History, an MS in Education and a PhD in Education. She has volunteered in the community for years as a Recreation Commissioner, Budget Committee member, PTA member, and most recently she went to Concord as a NH State Representative for fight for school choice and parental rights. Becky was recently appointed to the SAC (Special Advisory Committee) for special education in NH, representing homeschoolers, and they make recommendations to the Commissioner of Education.
We would like to provide a place where kids can learn outside, while playing, and parents can relax or be as involved as they would like. We will incorporate learning with the forest, ponds, the animals, and nearby resources.
We embrace a learning environment that will engage children in the outdoor, farm environment. Our classes incorporate place based learning, forest school and hands-on experiences.
COVID-19** This is a mask free facility.
To support our inclusive community, we provide a personal approach, tailoring learning methods to each student's needs. We believe that children learn best when they can learn at their own pace and in a variety of learning styles. And most importantly, learning should be fun and developmentally appropriate!
