πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for curious children aged 2-12 who learn best through hands-on contact with animals and plants. Toddlers respond strongly to the goats and chickens. School-age kids engage deeply with the aquaponics and composting stations. The owner and staff create an unusually warm, community-first atmosphere that repeat visitors specifically seek out.

β€œLovely farm. I brought my daughters during their open house and they really enjoyed it. The owner of the farm is incredibly warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is great. Lots of beautiful plants and goats and chickens. We learned about many of the plants there and we had a nice lunch provided too. I’m excited to come back for volunteer day. Definitely get on their mailing list to stay updated on upcoming events.”

β€œI love visiting with my toddler . I am inspired by the work they do and how they take care of the land while inviting the people to share it with . Bought my first aloe from this place from some lovely students . It’s a place of learning and love and sanctuary for some , and I’m glad I ran across it on my journey .”
