Greenacres Farm Tour

Join our farmers, researchers, and educators for a guided tour of our generative approach to agriculture.

No two farm tours are alike—each one reflects the season, the soil, and the ongoing work of our team. Whether you’re a first-time guest or a returning visitor, there’s always something new to discover in the fields.

This Farm Tour will feature:

• • • A look at how we use summer cover crops to enrich soil fertility, manage weeds, and support soil biology—with a spotlight on specific varieties and their unique benefits.
    • Insights into the essential role livestock play in building soil health and how their presence allows us to grow vegetables without synthetic fertilizers.
    • A discussion on the ecological principles that guide our farming practices and how we grow healthy crops by working in harmony with nature—no pesticides required.
    • An inside look at our honey bee program and how it supports both the farm and our educational mission. You’ll learn how honey bees contribute to pollination, biodiversity, and healthy ecosystems, as well as how we incorporate beekeeping into hands-on lessons for students. During the tour, you’ll have the opportunity to safely view one of our observation hives up close and discover simple ways to support pollinators in your own backyard.
