Fables

Every animal has a story—and every story has a lesson. Inspired by the real animals and everyday moments on our farm, each fable begins with a short story, followed by lessons in reading and writing, math, and social-emotional learning. Activities are designed for the K–2, 3–5, and 6–8 grade spans and aligned with priority learning standards and CASEL competencies. These lessons come straight from our farm, with a little humor, plenty of heart, and something to carry into everyday life. We hope you enjoy learning alongside us!

Fable 01: Smooth Is Fast

Caddy thinks faster feet will make a faster run—until Vegas shows him the power of slowing down. Smooth Is Fast is a fable about patience, practice, and finding your feet.
Bring the story to life with companion resources for reading and discussion, hands-on math, TRAIL reflections, and a calming barrel-breathing activity.
