Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 10 reviews
We are a working crop farm and environmental education center, with roots dating back to the 1600's. Today we act as a regional education hub offering programs on healthy and sustainable food production, skills for small-scale suburban and urban farmers, and sustainable living practices for local communities. The farm features demonstration models for backyard farming, animal management, rainwater harvesting, organic composting, and green-roof technology. Visitors are welcome to hike the farm's 3.5 miles of woodland trails, enjoy a picnic overlooking the property, and visit our chickens and goats. We hold numerous classes and lectures, offers seasonal CSA shares, and maintain a farm stand and U-Pick program during the growing season. We also offer guided tours, classes, and field trips for school groups, garden clubs, and scout troops. We are committed to donating 10% of annual vegetable production to local food pantries and warmly welcomes volunteers.

I've visited often: to pick up CSA produce, to purchase plants and produce from the stand, to use the space as part if a knitting group, and for educational program in the classroom. It's a working farm that has areas open to the public and hosts educational and cultural events. It's not a petting zoo r a community garden, so which spaces are open and which activities are available vary.

The staff member that walked us into the field to choose our tree was a great sport. Although we were experiencing a storm and we were soaking wet he allowed us to take our time with choosing the best trees. Before leaving we purchased a few delicious treats from the Bakery....Apple cider donuts, oatmeal cookies and zucchini walnut Bread.
