Education is our passion here at Mary’s Land Farm!
We educate children and adults on farming and its relationship to the greater environment in a fun, hands-on atmosphere. We offer opportunities to children & their caregivers, schools, daycare programs, scout groups, homeschoolers, and families up and down the East Coast. Each program is catered to the specific age group for the best hands-on experiences!
See below for information on our Field Trips & Homeschool Days!
Offered year round, students will engage in hands-on farm activities either in our petting farm, learning lab, greenhouses, or out and about on the farm! Each visit encourages groups and individuals to have lots of fun and learn about regenerative farming! Our facilities have been especially curated to create new and unique experiences for groups of all ages – allowing them to use all five senses to discover the workings of nature!
We have the added benefit of several buildings to protect from outside elements and cold weather. We are pleased to offer programs YEAR ROUND.
Are you a family that would love the benefits of a field trip but can’t reach the minimum group size for a field trip? Join us for a homeschool day this spring where families can come together for a fun day on the farm!
No need to worry about reaching group minimums as we will group families into larger groups for educational tours. Tickets are purchased per person – all over the age of 2 require a ticket. One free adult per family is allowed. Tours begin at 10am and 1pm promptly.
Coming back Spring 2026
Spend the day on the farm by bringing a picnic lunch or getting some snacks at the farm store! You are welcome to stay later, or come early for extra time visiting the animals, play areas, and farm property. Each group will meet in front of the large event pavilion to begin their tour promptly at either 10am or 1pm.
All school-aged children are welcome, not required to be homeschooled to attend.
Imagine your students stepping into the boots of a real farmer for a day, experiencing firsthand the rhythms of agricultural life!
We invite your classroom to Mary’s Land Farm for an immersive educational adventure, where learning comes alive through hands-on activities and direct interaction with our working farm. Designed to engage students of all grade levels, our ‘Farmer for a Day’ program provides a unique opportunity to explore the origins of food, discover the importance of sustainable farming practices, and connect with the natural world.
Dates: Year Round
Comfortable picnic tables are available for lunch breaks and outdoor learning sessions, and portable restroom facilities ensure convenience for your group. To ensure a personalized and enriching experience, we require a minimum group size of 20 students.
Let us tailor a memorable and educational farm visit for your class and make the most of the experience!
Mary’s Land Camp is committed to inspiring young people to value the beauty of the great outdoors, embrace regenerative farming practices, and become responsible stewards of land, nature, and community. Camp is open to boys & girls ages 4-15.
Our 2026 Camp Schedule is posted and enrollment is open!
Spanning 160 acres, our farm is dedicated to regenerative agriculture, a practice that enhances soil health, restores ecosystems, and produces nutrient-dense food. We raise 100% grass-fed beef, pasture-raised pigs, and free-ranging layer hens, all using rotational grazing practices to ensure sustainable land use and animal well-being. Beyond farming, we are deeply committed to community engagement and education, offering activities and events throughout the year that connect people with nature, healthy food, and the importance of responsible farming. Spending time outdoors on the farm isn’t just informative—it’s a great way to recharge, breathe in fresh air, and appreciate the beauty of the land.
This formal, guided tour provides an in-depth look at our farm. Guests will experience a mix of walking and wagon rides, making it both engaging and accessible. While strollers are allowed in some areas, they may not be ideal for all parts of the tour due to uneven terrain.
✅ Water Management – Our system uses berms and swales to direct water where it’s needed, helping to maintain healthy soil and prevent erosion. As part of this stop, you’ll visit historical sites on the farm, including our Spring House and Ice Hole, both dating back to the 1870s, to learn about their role in water storage and preservation.
✅ Greenhouses – You’ll see the first signs of spring and summer as young vegetables and flowers begin to sprout. We’ll discuss how greenhouses create the perfect environment for new plants, extending the growing season and protecting delicate crops from unpredictable weather.
✅ Layer Hens in the Orchard – A visit to this area brings you to the home of our layer chickens, where they roam freely in lush fields surrounding young nut trees and berry bushes. You’ll learn how their natural environment contributes to their well-being and egg quality, and how our livestock guard dog, chickens, and orchard trees work in harmony to build healthy soil, produce delicious eggs, and support strong, fruit-bearing trees and bushes.
✅ Petting Farm – We’ll introduce you to our friendly animals, including pigs, horses, emus, calves, goats, and more! This hands-on experience allows guests of all ages to interact with our farm animals and learn about their care, personalities, and roles on the farm.
