History

Spence Farm Foundation was founded seven years ago to teach the art, history, and practice of sustainable small family farming across our country. Located on the 160 acres of privately-owned Spence Farm, the Foundation operates as an independent non-profit educational organization that uses the farm as a living, teaching laboratory for young and old alike.

From school children to urban dwellers to beginning farmers, Spence Farm Foundation operates a series of programs to better connect people to the land, teach farm history, and foster the creation of new sustainable farms and farmers.
