Rooted in Purpose. Growing for Tomorrow

For more than 40 years, New Pond Farm Education Center has connected people of all ages to the natural world through hands-on environmental education, sustainable agriculture, and meaningful experiences on our 102-acre property.

As we look toward the future, we remain rooted in the vision that created New Pond Farm — protecting the land, inspiring curiosity, and cultivating the next generation of environmental stewards.
