Our Approach

Everything you do at Wolfe’s Neck Center is full of discovery. Here, people enjoy being in nature, including hands-on, sensory experiences on a working farm: touching the warm soil, eating a fresh tomato off the vine, smelling freshly cut hay, or watching a chick hatch. This kind of learning strengthens our understanding of where food comes from and the impact of our food choices on our community, our health, and the planet.

What People Are Saying

“We had our son come home excited to tell us about his day. He was so excited, he was bursting with stories to tell us (not just one story per day but multiple). The stories were positive, kind, and about learning/fun. First camp where all the kids were kind in his group (no name calling, teasing) and no hands on from any of the kids too. As a parent, it was wonderful to have camp educators provide eye contact with parents and camper, introduce themselves and be welcoming/friendly.”

– Alan Pennington, Portland

‘It’s a sad time to be a farmer.’

The USDA funding freeze is hitting Wolfe’s Neck Center hard. We are asking for your help to continue connecting people to agriculture and training the next generation of farmers.
