Episode 44: Up-Rooting the Traditional Classroom: Building a Farm-Based Hybrid Homeschool with Wild Wonders

<p>What happens when a public school teacher realizes the educational system no longer aligns with her core values or the future she envisions for her own children? For <strong>Lindsey Vose</strong>, it meant choosing a radical pivot: stepping away from financial security, pensions, and traditional benchmarks to build an alternative learning ecosystem completely from the ground up.</p> <p>Today, Lindsey is the founder and owner of <strong>Wild Wonders</strong>, a thriving hybrid homeschool and farm-based education program in <strong>Belgrade, Montana</strong>. What started as a tiny summer camp run out of her garage has exploded entirely through word of mouth into an immersive, multi-age program serving 50 students from early childhood all the way through middle school.</p> <p>In this conversation, Lindsey pulls back the curtain on her leap of faith from the public sector, the logistical grit required to scale a rapidly growing model, and how she balances rigorous academic standards with the daily realities of farm life. She shares the profound life lessons that come with teaching kids through nature, her philosophy on community leadership, and what it truly takes to turn an unconventional educational dream into a thriving reality.</p> <p><strong>You’ll hear:</strong></p> <p>🎒 The specific turning point that caused her to walk away from traditional public schools in search of something better for her daughter.</p> <p>🚪 What happened when she stepped into the world of non-traditional education, and the exact moment she realized there was no turning back.</p> <p>🚗 The scrappy origins of her program, which started as a summer camp running out of a single garage.</p> <p>📈 What it really takes to scale a program to keep up with growing demand from the community.</p> <p>🧮 The way farm-based projects give children an immediate, real-world purpose for learning core academic subjects.</p> <p>📋 How a hybrid homeschool structure actually operates behind the scenes while still meeting state standards.</p> <p>👩‍🌾 The essential leadership advice for identifying your true community and keeping your team genuinely excited to show up every single day.</p> <p><strong>Learn more about Wild Wonders:</strong></p> <p>🌐 Website:<span>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wildwondersmt.com/">wildwondersmt.com</a></span></p> <p>👍 Facebook:<span>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/p/Wild-Wonders-Farm-Inspired-Education-61552574072658/">Wild Wonders</a></span></p> <p><span>📸 Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wildwondersmt_bzn/">Wild Wonders</a></span></p> <p><strong>Farm Educator’s Roadmap:&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>🌐Website:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.farmeducatorsroadmap.com/">www.farmeducatorsroadmap.com</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>📘 Free Guide:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.farmeducatorsroadmap.com/fivesimplesteps">5 Simple Steps to Growing an In-Demand Farm Education Program&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>📸 Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.instagram.com/farmeducatorsroadmap">@farmeducatorsroadmap</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>👍 Facebook:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.facebook.com/farmeducatorsroadmap">@farmeducatorsroadmap</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>👩‍🌾 Join the Private Facebook Group:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/farmeducatorsroadmap">Join us!</a></p>

Episode 43: Small Acreage, Big Impact: Wellness and Education for Everyone at WEE Farm

<p><strong>Dr. Bonnie Laabs</strong>, an inner-city science teacher, turned her PhD research on trauma and brain development into a thriving nonprofit.&nbsp;In this episode we discuss&nbsp;how she transitioned from a traditional classroom to founding <strong>WEE Farm </strong>on less than 6 acres right outside Minneapolis, Minnesota. She is&nbsp;proving that you don't need hundreds of acres to create a powerful, purpose-driven education program.</p> <p>Dr. Laabs dives into the science of why animals are such effective partners in teaching self-regulation and emotional wellness and discusses the creative ways she utilizes her six-acre property. From a "Critter Scene Investigation" forensics camp to a multicultural garden that uses food as a bridge between cultures. Whether you are an educator or a small-scale farmer, this conversation offers profound insights into making farm education accessible and meaningful for everyone.</p> <p><strong> You’ll hear: </strong></p> <p>🎓 How Bonnie’s background as a science teacher and her research into trauma led her to bring animals into the educational process in her classroom.</p> <p>🚜 The personal leap of faith Bonnie and her husband took selling their city home to establish a farm that bridges the gap between science, education, and therapeutic wellness for inner city children.</p> <p>🐎 Why Bonnie views her horses as partners rather than tools, and the science behind Equine Gestalt Coaching.</p> <p>🕵️ A look at unique programs like "Little Vet Camp" and "FBI Mystery Spy" that engage kids in STEM and agriculture.</p> <p>🪴 How the Multicultural Learning Garden uses shared recipes and diverse crops to build community and celebrate different heritages.</p> <p>📍 Practical advice on maximizing small spaces; proving that you don't need a large property to offer farm education.</p> <p>🤝 Why building a network of experts and community support is the most vital step for any aspiring farm educator.</p> <p><strong>Learn more about WEE Farm:</strong></p> <p>🌐 Website:<span>&nbsp;<a href="https://weefarm.org/">weefarm.org</a></span></p> <p>👍 Facebook:<span>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/112611541449458">WEE Farm</a></span></p> <p><span>📸 Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/weefarmedu/">WEE Farm</a></span></p> <p><strong>Farm Educator’s Roadmap:&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>🌐Website:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.farmeducatorsroadmap.com/">www.farmeducatorsroadmap.com</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>📘 Free Guide:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.farmeducatorsroadmap.com/fivesimplesteps">5 Simple Steps to Growing an In-Demand Farm Education Program&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>📸 Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.instagram.com/farmeducatorsroadmap">@farmeducatorsroadmap</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>👍 Facebook:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.facebook.com/farmeducatorsroadmap">@farmeducatorsroadmap</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>👩‍🌾 Join the Private Facebook Group:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/farmeducatorsroadmap">Join us!</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Episode 42: The Immersive Apprenticeship: Training the Next Generation of Farmers at Deck Family Farm

<p><strong>Christine Deck’s</strong> journey into agriculture is deeply rooted in a desire to rewrite her family’s history. After watching generations of farmers forced out by the "get big or get out" era, she and her husband founded <strong>Deck Family Farm</strong> in Junction City, Oregon, as a diversified, regenerative haven.</p> <p>Today, the farm is a thriving ecosystem of cattle, heritage pigs, dairy, and a full-farm CSA, all serving as a living classroom for the next generation of agricultural leaders. This conversation dives into the heart of their year-long apprenticeship program, where students are treated as more than just hands—they are future business owners. Christine discusses the necessity&nbsp;<span>of rotating through the enterprises to learn the background and numbers behind the business</span>, the power of living in an intentional farm community, and her bold plans to preserve this land forever through a farmland trust.</p> <p><strong>You’ll hear:</strong></p> <p>• 🌱 How the loss of family farms in California fueled Christine’s passion to ensure the next generation has the skills to stay on the land.</p> <p>• 🐄 A look at managing a farm model that includes everything from 600 heritage pigs to a working dairy and a&nbsp;full farm CSA.</p> <p>• 🎓 Why Christine shifted from volunteer help to paid staff that act as mentors for their year-long, enterprise-based learning apprenticeships for students.</p> <p>• 📈 Why their apprenticeship program prioritizes teaching financials and marketing alongside daily animal care to ensure students can actually make a living.</p> <p>• 🏡 The impact of immersive education and "on-farm" living, where learning happens everywhere from the dawn chores to the dinner table.</p> <p>• 📜 How putting land into a trust ensures it remains a farming resource for future operators.</p> <p><strong>Learn more about&nbsp;Deck Family Farm:</strong></p> <p>🌐 Website:<span>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.deckfamilyfarm.com/">https://www.deckfamilyfarm.com/</a></span></p> <p>👍 Facebook:<span>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/deckfamilyfarm">Deck Family Farm</a></span></p> <p><span>📸 Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/deckfamilyfarm/">Deck Family Farm</a></span></p> <p><strong>Farm Educator’s Roadmap:&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>🌐Website:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.farmeducatorsroadmap.com/">www.farmeducatorsroadmap.com</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>📘 Free Guide:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.farmeducatorsroadmap.com/fivesimplesteps">5 Simple Steps to Growing an In-Demand Farm Education Program&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>📸 Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.instagram.com/farmeducatorsroadmap">@farmeducatorsroadmap</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>👍 Facebook:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.facebook.com/farmeducatorsroadmap">@farmeducatorsroadmap</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>👩‍🌾 Join the Private Facebook Group:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/farmeducatorsroadmap">Join us!</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
