Teresa is a northern Michigan native that spent about 15 years in Florida and returned home in 2018. Teresa struggled with her health most of her life but became very ill after the birth of her youngest child. After years of being shuffled through the medical system, she was finally diagnosed with lupus. Further health decline and a lot of frustration with Western Medicine followed her diagnosis, until she embarked on a journey to wellness through alternative medicine & natural healing. Food was an important part of that journey and that’s where she discovered the world of microgreens. In 2021, she decided to share her passion with our community and open the farm. Her daughter, Elise (El), has had an affinity for animals her entire life and her son, Tyler (Ty), was the one that inspired her passion for herbs, hence Elty Farms was born. Elty Farms specializes in microgreens, herbs, and rabbitry. The passion of the farm is to educate others and hopefully inspire journeys to health through clean and healthy eating and living.

Outside of working with her bees, Rachel enjoys teaching all ages about pollinators and helping new beekeepers get a strong start with their own backyard hives.

There will be much more coming as we develop the schedule, so please be sure to check back!  These activities are for older kids. There will be activities for the littles, too!

Amy has lots of activities planned for your kids, both entertaining ones and educational activities. From crafts to farm games and an advanced level scavenger hunt, your older kids will keep busy and enjoy getting familiar with various aspects of a farm.

Tribe day 2022, gathering,

Dorothy Beerens is a true blue farm girl and enjoys working with younger kids. She’s planning several activities for the 2-5 yr. old set.  Drawing on her experience as an older sister here at Baker’s Green Acres, and her work with that age group at a local daycare, she’ll have a full range of fun farm experiences for your little ones.

**Note that we’re flexible on the activities you feel your child will enjoy. An advanced 5 year old is welcome with the older kids, and a 6 year old who’s not comfortable with the bigger kids is welcome to hang out with Dorothy and the smaller kids.**

Ever read the book Hatchet by Gary Paulson? What would happen if you suddenly found yourself in the woods and had to survive, like the character Brian in the book?

Amedee and Josh will guide the 10 (+/-) and up kids in discovering what it would take, from shelter building to fire starting to the basic things one needs to survive. This is experiential, so be prepared for the outdoors and adventure.  This is suitable for boys and girls of all experience levels. Come and have fun!

Amedee grew up adventuring in the woods and fields. She loves fishing and anything wildcraft and survival oriented.  She’s been teaching this as a homeschool co-op course for two years and has explored many topics with the kids in that time.

Dorothy will guide the kids that don’t want to adventure in a few craft activities involving farming things. There may be small expenses to cover for materials. 

This one is for the kids! Discover how wonderful and amazing bees are and how they are so neccessary in our world. They are fascinating little creatures and you’ll get to learn all about them from Rachel Potter. You’ll even get to observe how a hive works!
