We operate an organic farm as the backdrop for our education programs. The farm raises sheep, goats, cows, pigs, chickens and a lllama. The property contains a 95-acre State Nature Preserve, buttonbush swamps, a creek, a pond, prairies, a historic cemetery, a maple-sugar house, 2 greenhouses, and 3 miles of hiking trails.

Schools come from all over central Ohio to experience the magic of the center. Summer Farm Camps immerse children aged 3-12 in real farm experiences and gentle adventures in the forest. Our appreciation-based programs teach learners of all ages how to grow their own food and how to understand the complex interrelationships between all living things.

Additionally, through the operation of an organic farm, we demonstrate key concepts of sustainable agriculture that can be replicated in back yards, school yards, in community gardens, and on other farms.

The internship program is a key component of our mission. Through it we are enabling the next generation of environmental educators and sustainable agriculture practitioners, by allowing them the opportunity to practice their skills and gain valuable hands-on experiences.
