What’s Happening at Nature Kin
We offer year-round opportunities for seasonal learning.
Our 2026-27 School Season begins September 8. Enrollment Open
Community Celebrations: September 20 1-3 | December 20 2-4 | March 20 11-1
It’s here! We’ve been so excited to finally share this with you!
Episode 1 of Farm School’d, The Movement, is now live, and Nature Kin Farm & Forest School is part of the story.
Filmed right here at our home at Crabtree Farms in Chattanooga, Episode 1 features Stephanie Lomino and gives viewers a glimpse into our Nature Kin community, along with the children, families, and educators helping show what learning in nature can look like.
We’re also incredibly proud to see Dr. Jean Lomino and the Forest School Teacher Institute featured as the series explores the growing movement of farm, forest, and nature-based education.
For those of us who get to experience this kind of learning every week, there’s something pretty special about seeing it captured on film and shared with a much larger audience. We can’t wait for you to see it!

“And finally, Forest School has helped me become more compassionate. I have learned to love the forest, trees, plants, and animals and treat them like my friends. I’ve also learned how friends can be really different from me but also nice and thoughtful and help me grow. Even though our brains work differently from each other we still worked together to care for this farm and this forest.”
At Nature Kin Farm and Forest School, a safe and welcoming community is very important to us — we strive to create a joyful place for people of all races, ethnicities, national origins, abilities, ages, religions, sexual orientations, and genders.
