Come to the Farm! Learn farm crafts like quilting, woodworking and fiber arts in our new heated Discovery Room. Programs for children and adults will include classes on agricultural and homesteading skills, companion and farm animal care, holistic, herbal and homeopathic medicine, and educational lectures on sustainable agriculture and organic farming.
"Sustainable agriculture is environmentally sound. It conserves and enriches the soil, protects the quality of the water, and encourages a diversity of plant and animal species. Sustainable agriculture is not a prescribed set of farming practices but only those practices that are right for a given farm or region or crop. Sustainable agriculture maintains agricultural productivity and economic viability. Sustainable agriculture practices may include reducing or eliminating the use of agricultural chemicals. Low-input agriculture, organic farming, biodynamic farming, regenerative agriculture, and permaculture are examples of farming systems that fall within the scope of sustainable agriculture."
Your $750 donation will allow us to build a 12' x 12' box stall with a rubber mat floor in our new Equine Wing. In addition, we'll mount a customized plaque on the front of the stall with your name on it!
6 stalls have already been completed, and two more are scheduled. Don't miss your chance!
Please call (603) 472-4724 for details or to sign up to sponsor a stall.
Our mission is to increase public awareness of open space, sustainable agriculture and the environment by operating a working farm, providing interactive educational programs and promoting first hand experience through community involvement.
