About Farmschool at Eden Ridge Farm
Hello everyone! My name is Sierra Fischer and I will be the teacher this year at Farmschool at Eden Ridge Farm. I am stepping back from a nearly 10-year career in neonatal nursing and am returning to a previous love of educating at the preschool level. I have experience at a child development center focused on research and developmentally appropriate care. I am excited to mix this experience with the fast-paced excitement that comes with nursing, my love for the outdoors, animals and gardening to create a fun and adventurous learning environment.
