Bellwether Farm offers a model for sustainable living that promotes physical and spiritual wellness, fidelity to the environment, and social justice by incorporating farming, food production, and environmental stewardship into land-based educational programs for people of all ages and backgrounds.
Their aim at Bellwether Farm is to equip children and adults to become informed, inspired, and empowered leaders for a sustainable future. They are bordered on three sides by the Vermilion River and offer exceptional and diverse opportunities for educational programming. Their 137-acre property includes farmland, woodlands, meadows, hiking trails, picnic pavilions, playing fields, and a five-acre pond.
This new center exemplifies green building and features super energy-efficient structures, renewable energy technology, water reclamation systems, and repurposed materials. Together the site and its facilities serve as vehicles for teaching the wider community about sustainable living and care of this good earth.
