“To raise a nature-bonded child is to raise a rebel, a dreamer, an innovator… someone who will walk their own verdant, winding path.” – Nicolette Sowder.
At Little House Farm Nature School we expose our students to the wider and wilder world through a hands-on immersion into all seasons! Nature is transformative and has the unique ability to build confidence, teach life skills, encourage creativity and imagination, promote movement, and connect us deeply to our environment and to each other. Children who play outside are happier and healthier!

Heather Speth (founder)
Miss Heather’s own nature education started at a young age, growing up on a farm in Sanpete County. At the age of 17 she worked at a high adventure base, which led to a Bachelor’s degree in Recreation Management & Youth Leadership. Later she earned a Master’s degree in Education and a certification in yoga and permaculture design. She has worked with kids in the great outdoors at Beaver High Adventure Base, Philmont Scout Ranch, and Elevation Outdoors. This has accumulated to over 400 nights sleeping in a tent! She also taught Leadership and STEM for six years at a Williamsburg Academy Online Middle School. She opened the Nature School on her family’s little homestead in the fall of 2023. Heather has a particular fondness for the moon (and even wrote a book about it!), loves homesteading with her husband, homeschooling their son, and taking advantage of the many nature adventures throughout the Uintah Basin.
