If you run a camp, a class series, an after-school program, or a studio, there is a good chance you have already used Jotform for something, and a good chance you have wondered whether it could handle your registrations too.

If you run a camp, a class series, an after-school program, or a studio, you have probably looked at Jackrabbit Class and at Enrichment.kids and wondered whether they are the same kind of thing.

Umbel Roots Farm: A Working Organic Farm Welcomes Petaluma Kids

Imagine a place where your child kneels in a sun-warmed field, presses a seed into the soil, and a few weeks later comes back to find a row of green shoots they put there themselves. That place is just off Sears Point Road, in the rolling hills where Sonoma meets Marin. Umbel Roots Farm is a certified organic, biodynamic working farm that supplies some of the Bay Area's best restaurants, and each summer it opens its rows and greenhouses to a small group of Petaluma kids. For North Bay families
