Farm

The new animal barn being constructed at Merck Forest & Farmland Center will bring numerous benefits to both our educational programs and our farm team, supporting our mission of sustainability, environmental education, and agricultural stewardship.

It’s May. The fields are greening up, the garden beds are in, and the barns echo with the sounds of new life. 

Our heritage Romney sheep, prized for their lustrous wool and flavorful meat, connect visitors to agricultural traditions through interactive experiences like Meet the Lambs events, summer camps, and educational demonstrations that showcase sustainable farming practices and the cycle of seasons on our working landscape.
