Cultivating Eco-Literacy, Fearlessly

At Fearless Farmers, our mission is realized through education that centers regeneration and connection to self, place, and nature. We are dedicated to developing curricula that teach and empower anyone how to increase ecological literacy. Whether you are a beginner or have some experience, our training programs are designed to help you deepen your understanding of the natural world and how to care for it. Our programs are available for adults, ensuring ecological literacy can spread across generations and communities.

Building a Foundation: The 5E Inquiry-Based Instructional Model

We create lesson plans for our training programs and curriculum using the 5E Inquiry-Based Instructional Model. This model serves as a guide during the design and implementation of STEM instruction in schools, homeschool learning environments, and place-based learning locations worldwide. By following the 5E model—Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate—we ensure that our students gain knowledge and develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. After grounding yourself in our mini-course, you may discover new insights about yourself and how you want to contribute to the world. We offer multiple pathways for you to explore, ensuring there is a perfect fit for your unique journey.
