Elmwood Stock Farm is waking up after a long and deep winter’s sleep. It’s a magical time of year to be out at the farm, and we welcome you—long-time customers, curious newcomers, food enthusiasts, and nature lovers alike—to share in the splendor of spring. Come out and see the farm as it awakens, meet the farmers and experience the rhythm of regenerative agriculture. “The farm, the plants, the fields—everything’s teeming with life. It’s like National Geographic right before your eyes,” says Elmwood Stock Farm’s Mac Stone of the transformation taking place this time of year.
Our tours are designed to educate adults and children alike about how food gets from the farm to your plate. This year, our Regenerative Farming Tour Series is specifically centered around the biological principles behind organic farming, and this spring tour will kick it all off. The two-hour tour will touch on many topics, including greenhouse production systems, pastured poultry, grass-fed rotational grazing (cows, pigs, sheep), vegetable-growing, soil-building, ecologically sustainable agriculture, and beneficial insects, to name a few. Come ready for an outdoor adventure. Together, we will traipse through the fields, gaze up into the sprawling old oak trees, inspect the soil, and discover the many sights and sounds (and smells!) of Mother Nature at work.
About This Farm Tour
Elmwood Stock Farm tours are designed to educate adults and children alike about how food gets from the farm to your plate - if you are an eater, this tour is for you! This tour will be held rain or shine, except in the event of severe weather.
Please plan to arrive 10 minutes before the event start time so that the tour may begin at 9:30am.
To gain the full experience, wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting dirty, pants that allow you to kneel to examine the soil, and protection from the sun (or rain). Please note that this is a working farm, so electric fences are on, children need to be supervised by the adults who brought them, and pets are not allowed.
Directions will be emailed to everyone who registers so that you can find the correct farm entrance and the starting point for this event.
