Our Story
Bins & Bogs Friends in the Field Collective began with two simple things: our kids' nicknames and their love for nature. As parents and law enforcement officers, we understand the importance of a strong, supportive community where children grow in knowledge, kindness, and responsibility.
We envisioned a co-op blending learning with hands-on experiences, allowing kids to explore nature, care for animals, and build lasting friendships. What started as a dream for our children has become a space for like-minded families to share resources and support each other.
We believe learning thrives when it's hands-on, community-driven, and rooted in curiosity. This is more than just a co-op; it's a place where families will be able to grow together and create lasting friendships throughout!

Our Impact
We aim to make a lasting impact on the hearts of children and families. We hope that everyone involved discovers a love for learning, respect for nature, and kindness towards others that they carry for life.
For families, we strive to create a true community where parents feel supported, connected, and encouraged. By sharing experiences, knowledge, building friendships, and working together, families gain resources, ideas, and a sense of belonging.
