Scissortail Farm - Round Hill, Virginia Family farm offering children’s farm camp, riding lessons and therapeutic riding

02/18/2025

We are excited to announce that we have opened scheduling for our fifth annual children’s farm camp! The summer session will start the week of May 26.

We are also offering a spring break session from April 14th through the 16th. The spring break camp will be half day only 9 to 12 and is $200 each.

The mornings consist of hands-on livestock care and education. The children will learn how to feed and care for the animals such as chickens, pigs, horses, and goats. They also are able to get their hands dirty by doing farm chores right along side the owner. There is no other program like it around. No child is left on the other side of fence wishing to do more. I am proud to say that we focus on learning through doing. We have a lunch/snack break after morning chores followed by playtime. Farm playtime includes swings, a large jumpy house, blow up water slide, soccer, etc.

Our mission is to provide a safe and unconventional place for children to build self-esteem and accountability. This is a place for them to explore nature, farm life, and gain education on caring for livestock. In addition, children will learn how our food is grown in our vegetable garden and orchard. Children will learn in real time how a farm is run and how farmers feed the world. We yearn to share a small glimpse of farm life to children of all ages and to share the life lessons that come along with that.

We have a dedicated garden day and a horse day where the children get a pony ride. We offer half-day classes from 9-11:00 or full-day classes from 9-1:00. Parents are welcome to stay as little or as long as they wish. The half-day weekly cost is $250 and the full-day cost is $350 per child. We do require a $25 deposit to hold your child’s spot. If interested in signing up, please email the farm at [email protected] with your child’s name, age, which weeks you would like, and if you would like half day or full day.

- [ ] All ages are welcome. If 3 and under a parent must stay.
- [ ] Please reach out by email, text or phone with any questions.

We are happy to announce that we are now taking orders for our grass feed beef!

Our steers are grass fed, finished and humanely butchered on our farm by certified butchers. They are raised with no antibiotics, no growth hormones, no pesticides on their grass, and fresh automatic water. They are a happy healthy herd of mommas, calves, steers and bulls.

Grass fed beef is usually leaner and contains higher amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A, E, and K2, and antioxidants than grain-fed beef.

We started our family run farm in 2021 in Loudoun County, and we take pride in our animals and humane practices. Our herd gets lots of love from our family and visits from the children who attend Kid’s Farm Camp.

Whole steer or half steer orders are available. Butcher date is mid November. Please send us a message or email the farm at
[email protected] for pricing or for more information.
