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.

About Ben Matthews:
Founder and winemaker Ben Matthews discovered his passion for wine while studying abroad in Germany, where the diversity of Riesling and the beauty of steep vineyard slopes sparked a lifelong interest. After years of home winemaking and formal training through UC Davis, Ben left his corporate career to work a harvest at Seavey Vineyard in Napa Valley with winemaker Jim Duane. That experience helped shape the vision for Terratorium, a winery focused on thoughtful viticulture, honest expression, and a deep connection to place.

Travel back in time with the Greenacres Education team during this hands-on fossil-hunting adventure! We’ll begin with a brief overview of Ohio’s unique geology, then hike to the creek to explore exposed rock beds in search of 450-million-year-old Ordovician fossils—like bryozoans, brachiopods, and other ancient marine life. Along the way, participants will also discover how the creek’s modern ecosystem continues to be shaped by its oceanic past.
