Many people are surprised to hear that we are a working farm in addition to hosting weddings.
John is part of Farmers of Mill Creek Watershed Council. Through this group, we host school tours for the Conservation Classroom. Students learn about conservation practices used in agriculture to benefit the whole watershed. These events are presented by a variety of farmers and conservation experts through Portage County, Wood County and the University of Wisconsin Extension.
Programs can be adapted to cover a variety of conservation and agricultural topics including:
Healthy Productive Soils
Cover Crops Demonstrations
Native Plant Benefits
Best Management Practices
Conservation education enables people to help understand how natural resources and ecosystems are connected and how resources can be used wisely. These programs can be tailored to meet the specific needs of a class, organization, or group.
The hands-on education experiences and activities are specifically designed for variety ages and populations. Students from grades PreK-12 grade along with adults are welcome for education sessions. Various Group sizes can be accommodated.
