A joint venture between the Historic Prophetstown and Cary Home for Children. This program is a merit-based program that allows boys from Cary to come out to Historic Prophetstown once a week and work hands-on with the livestock and on the farm. The boys participate in activities including feeding, care, plowing, and farm chores.

The boys also learn life skills by working together on chores and projects. At the end of each evening the boys set the table and are served a home-cooked meal, after which they clean up.
