A cool, early-morning mist lifts from the pasture as you follow the dirt road past the farmstand toward a low greenhouse and gravel lot. Within an hour the farm compresses a living curriculum: pigs rooting in a paddock, goats nudging a fence, chickens threading through market beds, and a livestock guardian dog keeping a steady eye on the herd. The guide walks beside you, hands occasionally brushing damp grass, narrating seasonal work and regenerative practices as the landscape opens to fields and stone walls.
