THE 2026 SUMMER LAB IS NOW OPEN!
The Classroom Without Walls
Join the Young Detectives Summer Field Lab Pilot at Microledon Farm.
Only 75 Kits Available for the 2026 Season.
Discovery is in our DNA
Most children know more about what’s on their screens than what’s in their soil. At Microledon Farm, we’re changing that.
As we break ground on our Phase 2 Expansion, we’re not just growing more food—we’re growing the next generation of ag-scientists. We are inviting 12 curious "Young Detectives" to step into the field and help us solve the mysteries of the soil.
This isn't a summer camp; it’s a hands-on Field Lab where the curiosity of the student drives the science of the farm.
FIELD INTELLIGENCE
Every detective receives their Official Mission Log and Team Uniform to begin the hunt
TECH INTEGRATION
Using the Luma-Probe circuitry, students build their own soil sensors from the ground up.
THE MICRO HUNT
Armed with 10x lenses and IR snipers, we identify the ‘Alien Life’ hidden in the farm soil.

JUNE MISSIONS
JULY MISSIONS
Mission 1: The Ignition (Bio-Battery) Start your journey by assembling the Luma-Probe 9000, your primary electronic field tool. Detectives and their Field Engineers will use these hand-built sensors to listen to the electrical current in the soil and prove that every living thing on the farm is part of a giant circuit. You will leave this first mission with your functional device ready for a summer of deep-earth discovery.
