Our Story
It started with a parcel of land and a dream. We built our home, added a chicken coop and a huge playground, dug a pond, planted a meadow, and created a nature trail—eventually becoming the little homestead our daughter Natalie named Rose Cherry Farm when she was six.
As we watched childhood become increasingly dominated by screens, Kids Unplugged CNY was born—a place where kids can put down the devices, get outside, get messy, explore, create, and experience the kind of childhood we believe every kid deserves.
See the Joy
Sometimes the smiles say it better than we ever could. Take a peek at Kids Unplugged CNY in action—kids exploring, creating, connecting, thriving, and making the kind of memories that remind us why this programming matters.
Upcoming Events
There’s always something happening at Kids Unplugged CNY! Join us for Family Days, drop-off programs, Parents’ Night Out, seasonal camps, special events, and our popular indoor cooking classes during the winter months—all designed to give kids more opportunities to unplug, explore, create, and connect.
Places We Love
The unplugged fun doesn’t stop at Rose Cherry Farm! We love exploring places that get families out of the house, trying something new, and making memories together. Here we’ll share our favorite family-friendly adventures, attractions, hidden gems, and honest reviews from around Central New York and beyond.
