Harvest Faire from the Air

What is Harvest Faire?

Journey School’s Harvest Faire celebrates the bounty of the land, connects the children and community to the rhythms of nature, and fosters a sense of gratitude in the students.

The biggest event in the  Journey  school  calendar.  We are opening our doors to everyone in the inside and outside community. The festival also happens to be a whole lot of fun! In the days leading up to the event, the schoolyard is completely transformed into an old fashioned farmyard, decorated with wheat, flowers, straw bales, vintage signs, and much more.  Parents, community members, and staff prepare delicious and healthy foods shared by all.journey-harvest-faire-2015-34jpg
