This multifaceted agro-educational facility is actively expanding its programs to meet the educational and nutritional needs of the rapidly growing region and promote the awareness of being good stewards of our land, water, and air.

The facility is the only working farm in the Lehigh Valley with School to Farm courses supporting the PA Department of Education’s ‘Agriculture & Society’ curriculum.
  • Site offers 6 acres of wooded paths, 20 acres of pastures for our sheep, goats, cows and assorted gardens planted with herbs, flowers and vegetables, and additionally, a greenhouse, community garden, honeybee hives. During certain seasons, the Draft horse teams of the Educational Center provide “horse power” to the everyday work of the farm.
