Welcome to Soule Homestead! We are excited to be in our 31st year of operation. The property is open and free to the public every day of the year from sunrise to sunset. The only time we charge at Soule is for workshops, events, and programs that help to support our farm. Help to support our farm by attending these events or becoming a member! Come on by, say hello to the animals, hike, picnic, take a class, or lend a helping hand. Public restrooms (with changing table) and drinking fountain available.

No dogs or other animals are allowed on any part of the farm. We want to keep our farm animals safe. Service dogs are permitted.

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 things 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 arts and crafts such as spinning and weaving, rug braiding, quilting, food preservation, free-play and wonder!

Thank you for your support and we hope to see you soon!
