As a new business, this client requested multiple iterations of the same copy to help them find their brand's voice. They responded most to the playful and inviting tone in the second column. I've shared three samples for contrast.

Folksy, Southern Charm
At Oak Meadow Acres, we spend our days outside. We grew up on farms, with dirt under our nails and just-picked veggies on our plates. Looking back, we had a pretty good thing going.
As adults, we built careers connecting with kids in classrooms. But now, kids are connecting more and more to their screens, and not to the world around them.
Now that we’ve retired, it’s our mission to get your students outside. We’ll teach them to explore, and discover the joy of getting a little dirty along the way.

Students meet our animals and learn the roles they play on our farm, through stories, songs, crafts, and games (age 3-6).
Playful and Inviting
Our family of kid-loving animals will greet your students with brays and bleats as they arrive on the farm. Students will meet our donkeys, goats, chickens and ducks in a controlled, hands-on experience. Through song and creative movement, young students will become friends of the farm.
Folksy, Southern Charm
We love our animals. Your students will love them even more. Our donkeys, goats, chickens and ducks have all grown up around kids, and love attention almost as much as they love treats. Metina, our Palomino horse, is a blonde bombshell, and knows it. In our animal program, kids will meet the whole gang, and learn the role they each play on our farm.

Our thriving pond and the creeks that feed it provide an interactive backdrop for lessons about animal life cycles (age 3-10), and stream ecology (age 10 and up).

The aquatic habitats at Oak Meadow Acres provide a home to dozens of species of creatures, large and small. From turtles to tadpoles, and dragonflies to ducks, budding biologists will discover how these fragile systems provide a home to life of all shapes and sizes.

It’s peaceful here. But spend an afternoon sitting by the water, and you wouldn’t call it quiet. With hundreds of frogs, dragonflies, and jumping fish, our one-acre pond is always buzzing with activity. Whether learning about amphibian life cycles or analyzing water quality, we have programs that will engage students of all ages. Just make sure they don’t try and sneak a pet frog home in their overalls.

Students experience the stages of food production, from planting to harvest, leaving with a seedling to plant in their own gardens (age 6 and up).
Playful and Inviting
Young farmers will connect with their roots as they learn how their food grows. In our kid-friendly garden, students will discover the miracle of growing vegetables, from seed to harvest, focusing on the different ways in which plants produce our food.
Folksy, Southern Charm
We’ve met kids who can’t tell a turnip from a tomato, bless their hearts. Our garden reconnects students with their food, organically. Since we grow what we eat here, we know the pride that comes from watching a seedling sprout into a delicious meal. As kids learn the different ways plants produce food, they’ll experience each stage of the process hands-on—even bringing a seedling home to plant in their own gardens.

In our 16-acre forest, students learn to identify signs of a healthy ecosystem (ages 10 and up). For younger students (ages 3-10), we recommend our Enchanted Fairy Village, for a playful take on our role in preserving the forest.
Playful and Inviting
Our 16-acre forest is filled with wonders, large and small. Explorers will search the oaks, Georgia pines, and hickories for signs of the forest’s many living systems. Guided by enchanted trees and fairy houses, as well as our resident forestry expert, students will learn their role in protecting the forest.
Folksy, Southern Charm
On a hot summer day, stepping into the shade of our 16-acre forest is like drinking a cold glass of sweet tea. Whether strolling our trails, or sprouting acorns in our top-secret tree fort, kids find our forest mesmerizing. We’ll teach them how to identify trees, look for signs of a healthy ecosystem, and send them off with a seed to sprout at home.
