Enrichment Days
We will have a couple of spots available in the Enrichement Days program starting in January. Check out the page on the website for more details. Fun and learning in the outdoors.
Farm School spring 2021
We are starting up a second session of Farm School on Tues/Thurs, due to demand. This session will be starting up in February. We have a couple of spaces still open. If you would like more information feel free to call or email.
Black Lives Matter
We support the Black Lives Matter movement here at Sunny Truth Farm. Having worked with youth in disenfranchised neighborhoods in Durham for 15 years and hearing their stories, I am well aware of the institutional racism that exist. I love seeing the energy, focus, and action that the youth are using to push this needed discussion. The time for words is over though, it is time for systemic change. I am also aware that some people find the phrase Black Lives Matter offensive. I would ask that you are one of those people, please read the attached article and think about it. Hopefully you will be able to see why it is important that we say Black Lives Matter, because our system has been telling POC for a long, long, time that their lives don’t matter. Thank you and may we all work together to make Madison County and the United States a better place to live for everyone.

Program Updates due to Covid-19
Farm School has been cancelled for the rest of the spring. With the need to encourage social distancing we have decided to cancel Farm School for the rest of the spring season. Hopefully we will be able to start back up in September with our regular sessions.
Summer Camp is in a wait and see situation. We will make a decision on the June sessions in mid-May. Due to the fluid nature of the pandemic, it is hard to make a call on any programming more than a couple of weeks ahead of the start time.
We hope that everyone is safe, washing hands, staying at home unless necessary, and practicing social distancing if going out is needed. Take care and hope to see everyone soon.
Farm School update Spring 2019
We have a couple of spots available for the Farm School program starting in February. Call or email for more information.
Christmas Ornaments
So the little farmers decided they wanted to become business people and start making and selling things. Their first idea, Christmas Ornaments. So they are available on the Products for Sale page. We are also offering Tobacco Stick Stars for sale, preferably only to people in the Yancey, Madison, Buncombe County area as we cannot ship them. They are also available on the Product page.
Summer Camp is almost over, one week to go. That means that Farm School will be starting up soon. If you are interested in having your 3-6 year old participate in a fun, all-outdoor program, we can help. Check out the website for more details and as always feel free to call or email if you have any further questions.
Winter doesn't want to go...we don't mind
Just because February wanted to be spring doesn't mean that March feels the same way. We have had more cold and snow in the first half of March than all of February. The people of the farm are enjoying it, the animals and plants maybe not as much. This late winter burst has provided some fun for Farm School as we have taken the time to look at the different snowflake shapes that are falling. This is a great lesson for the kids. Here are some pictures of snowflakes we have seen during Farm School. Just because it feels like winter doesn't mean it's not time to think about Summer Camp. Check out our Summer Camp page for more information on what we have going on this summer.
Summer Camp Registration Open
Yes, it is time to start thinking about registering your child for summer camp. What better place for your child to have a great summer experience than Sunny Truth Farm. Our summer camp will be located at our new Chestnut Mountain property. With over 85 acres to explore, featuring springs, trails, meadows and forest, this will be an amazing location for camp. Here is our flyer for the camp and feel free to check out more details under the programs heading of our website. All of the week's themes and dates are located in the Summer Camp section.
