Why visit Little Flower Farms?

Our family farm is a homestead. We are working to cultivate and nurture the land in such a way that the life of the soil, the animals and the plants all work together, feeding and enriching the life of each. Students will get a chance to feed our goats and chickens and collect eggs. We can share our garden and students can help out where the season permits. We can also look at how rural composting differs from the city compost, working with it while visiting the garden.
