Every season offers something new to discover. Children collect eggs, harvest vegetables, meet dairy sheep, explore pollinators, bake from scratch, and experience firsthand where food comes from. Whether visiting with a homeschool group, school class, scout troop, or family, learning happens naturally through doing.
Teaching has always been part of who we are. Carly spent her career as a nurse and childbirth educator, and Michael served 26 years in the Army while working as a Physician Assistant. The farm simply gave us a new place to do what we’ve always done — teach, care for others, and welcome people in.
We don’t expect every student to leave wanting to own a farm. We just hope they leave curious, a little more confident, and with a story they’ll tell at dinner.
If your group learns better by doing, there’s a place for you here.
We welcome schools, homeschool groups, 4-H, FFA, scouts, church youth groups, and families.
Every visit is shaped around your group’s age, size, and what you’re hoping they take away.
Meet our East Friesian flock and learn how a dairy animal is cared for, milked, and raised.
From seed to harvest — how food actually gets to the table.
Why bees matter, how a hive works, and where honey comes from.
Daily chores, animal care, and gathering eggs straight from the coop.
Cooking and preparing food with ingredients harvested that morning.
Rolling, cutting, and decorating cookies from scratch the kind of hands-on baking that turns a lesson into a memory.
A visit to Ewe on the Farm is an opportunity to discover how soil, plants, pollinators, animals, farmers, and families are all connected. Guests meet our dairy sheep and chickens — and, depending on the season, turkeys and pigs — while exploring the real work of caring for a diverse, sustainable farm. Along the way, we turn everyday farm life into memorable lessons about science, stewardship, food, and entrepreneurship.
Discover how rotational grazing, regenerative growing practices, and thoughtful land management build healthier soil and pastures. We also discuss animal nutrition and how we evaluate herbal, natural, and conventional approaches to supporting animal health.
Meet the animals that call our farm home and learn the important role each one plays. Guests explore ethical animal care, housing, nutrition, life cycles, and the daily responsibilities of raising dairy sheep, chickens, turkeys, and pigs. Seasonal animals and experiences may vary throughout the year.
Step into the fascinating world of honeybees and discover why pollinators are essential to the food we grow. We explore long Langstroth hives, pollination, food webs, biodiversity, and the delicate balance that helps a farm ecosystem thrive.
Some of our favourite days are the ones filled with children in the kitchen and around the table. Cooking experiences let young learners measure, mix, and taste what they’ve made from ingredients picked that morning.
We also host birthday celebrations on the farm — a day with the animals, in the garden, and around a table set for the occasion.

This is a living, working farm, which is exactly what makes it such a good place to learn. It also means a few sensible rules: all visitors under 18 stay with an adult, electric fencing keeps our animals safe and should be respected, and our livestock guardian dogs are friendly but working. We’ll walk your group through everything on arrival.
Tell us who you’re bringing and what you’d love them to learn, and we’ll shape a visit around it.
