Mission:
The mission of the Soule Homestead Education Center is to support and maintain a community-based education center for the benefit of area schools and the general public while preserving and enhancing the historic Soule Homestead. Hands on learning opportunities include environmental programs, organic farming activities, traditional crafts, cultural events, and more.
Our Goals are simple:
- We love our community and we encourage participation in all aspects of the farm’s operation.
- We preserve and maintain the integrity of the Soule Farm as a sustainable organic working farm and educational and recreational area.
- We provide hands-on experiences and opportunities for exploration that allow people of diverse backgrounds to discover the connection among all living and non-living and to develop appreciation and respect for those things.
- We provide a peaceful, rural setting for hiking, cross-country skiing, art, bird watching, picnicking and other recreational activities in keeping with the Homestead mission.
- We provide educational programs that promote; organic farming, gardening skills, traditional slow crafts such as rug braiding, wool felting and fiber crafts, basket weaving, pottery, free-play and wonder, & so much more!
