Farm Sprouts

Early Learner Program

Discover, Create, Taste, and Explore—All at MSU Tollgate Farm!

Welcome to Farm Sprouts, a hands-on adventure designed just for curious little ones ages 2–4! Each month, your child will dive into the magic of the seasons through sensory play, storytelling, and creative crafts—all starting in our cozy classroom.

Then, it’s time to head outdoors! We’ll explore the sights, sounds, and surprises of the farm, from crunchy leaves to clucking chickens. After our farm adventure, we’ll gather back inside to enjoy a delicious taste of Michigan-grown goodness.

New Theme Each Month!
Every class brings a fresh theme and new discoveries—join us for one or come back each month for a whole year of farm fun!

Registration opens seasonally. Classes may be added to the schedule after the initial release.

Cost: $18 per child. Each child must be accompanied by a trusted adult for the entirety of the program.

Due to space constraints, no siblings or additional adults will be allowed into the program.

Plan to enjoy a Farm Sprouts experience every month, all year long!
