The Homeschool Harvesters grow yummy vegetables and learn about gardening at a family farm in Brentwood. The cost is $60 per family. The group meets Thursday mornings beginning when the rains stop--usually late April into early May and ends in October. Families should come prepared for hard work during the hot summer with the rewards of fresh produce beginning in late June to October. Younger children need to be properly supervised (work with a parent) as this is a working farm with lots of animals and equipment.

Come see what happens in people’s lives when they discover God through the study of His Word, the Bible. Our classes meet in Brentwood from 9:30-11:30am on Wednesdays from September- early May, which is an excellent full year of homeschool Bible curriculum. Each class participant, from 2nd grade- adult, receives a course book. Youth and adult lessons are aligned, so you will be studying the same passages as your students at home each week. (Note- High Schoolers may be dropped off. All other children and youth must attend with a registered adult.) During our Wednesday meeting, you’ll participate in small group discussions and a large group teaching, while the students participate in theirs. Small groups are available for 2nd-3rd grade, 4th-5th grade, Middle School, & High School. The younger children, who aren't ready for a written course book, will participate in a variety of activities including Bible teaching, Scripture memory work, music, games, and more during the class period. From time to time, fellowship meals will provide special opportunities of sharing and relationship building within the class. http://brentwood.cbsclass.org/
