FOUR
WINDS FARM
Four
Winds Farm is a beautiful 23 acre property within walking distance
to downtown Great Barrington, MA. It is one of the last remaining
sizeable parcels close to the center and offers a haven for much
wildlife. It is being restored as a working and teaching farm
after being a vacation home for over 20 years. At the turn of the
century there was a working dairy, and an apple orchard that we
are slowly reclaiming.We welcome volunteers...stop by with a pair
of pruners and lend a hand!!! Four Winds Farm serves as the physical
home to Four Winds, Inc., the non -profit educational organization
that offers programming through The Living
Learning Collaborative.
The
Farm is now under development as a working operation using sustainable
practices. We envision people: students, teachers and community
members, coming to learn about the land, where food comes from,
how to grow it in harmony with the larger ecological picture
in mind and then also how to develop some of these activities into
research projects, business projects and for community service.
We invite you to come for a visit.
Current:
