Youth & Family Programming
LLE specializes in innovative youth programming that taps into the power of meeting students in their own communities. We meet kids wherever they are and offer hands on creative activities that are grounded in nature —
- Gaia’s Guides is a program that teaches students about agriculture and encourages them to have a personal relationship with our Earth. Lessons incorporate characters as a means to introduce youth to environmental concepts as anthropomorphized and relatable beings.
- Seed to Salad is a six week program for Pre-K and kindergarten students that culminates with a Harvest Celebration where students get to enjoy the full salad that they’ve worked to grow from scratch. Each week, students learn to grow different elements of a salad, from lettuce and herbs to fruits and other veggies.
- Farm Fit is a five or ten weeks program that focuses on teaching families how to grow meals together. Under the tutelage of Lauren Little, families will plant and grow food in community gardens or using their own land.

Expansion Programming & Activity Kits
Facilitator Training
In addition to our Core Programs, LLE also offers additional programming to build upon skills & knowledge. Examples include Maple Tree Magic, Winter Farming, Animal Agriculture, Bird Watching, The Ladies’ Lounge and others. LLE Activity Kits provide the materials & curriculum guide needed for small groups to engage independently without a LLE facilitator in a classroom setting.
LLE offers limited, specialized training and hands-on apprenticeships that introduces participants to the building blocks of urban farming. Participants can expect early mornings, hot days and lots of laughter with Lauren Little as they learn the rewarding yet labor intensive craft of farming.
