Native Earth Teaching Farm

Native Earth Teaching Farm is a wonder not just for its animals and its vision of farming. That alone would be a rich resource for islanders and seasonal residents and visitors.

They just make sense deeply and without clutter.

Combine their sensibility with the farm — and boy, that's a wonder.
