ORGANIC FARMING

Hidden Meadows maintains an organic farming operation, using many of the same farming practices that took place prior to the changes in agriculture during the 20th century.

Nestled in the valley the rich soils of Hidden Meadows Farm program offers an unique opportunity to learn and grow through shared work. Guided by mature, skilled staff, campers are given many opportunities for meaningful responsibility.

Learning to care for the barn animals and working in the gardens planting, cultivating and harvesting are both fun and educational. In addition to campers learning the ways of alpacas, horses, pigs, chickens, and goats the farm program serves to develop an understanding of how the gardens and farm animals contribute to the camp community. Gathering eggs for breakfast and harvesting vegetables for the kitchen allow campers to experience first hand the forgotten path from farm field to dinner table.

Numerous opportunities abound to expand your creativity while assisting with projects on the farm. Constructing a new pen for an addition to the farm, or building a stonewall give campers the opportunity to leave the summer with a strong sense of accomplishment.
