WelcomeWelcome to Woodcrest Farm! We are a working farm in southern Orange County. You can read about our events and offerings here on our website, or subscribe to our e-newsletter by emailing woodcrestintern@gmail.com. MissionWoodcrest Farm is a working family farm, much like it was 100 years ago. We practice what has become known as sustainable agriculture: using natural methods to raise both livestock and organic produce for local markets. Our Heritage programs take root in Orange Grove, providing a connection to local culture and ecology, to our rural legacy and the story of this land. Woodcrest Farm School is a year-round learning center for all ages. This has always been a “family farm” - which means that, in today’s agricultural market, it is too small to be profitable in the usual agri-business model. Our strategy has been to develop niche markets: grass-fed Dexter and Angus beef, farm-raised pork, goats and sheep, free-range chickens, pet milk, and in 2008 we began raising organic produce. All of these activities can coexist, use the land gently, and be economically practical for a family farm. Visitors welcome! Call ahead for a tour! |

Spring Gala The Woodcrest Farm Spring Gala will be held on June 2nd at 6pm. This is always a lovely and memorable evening, full of lively conversation and 5-6 courses of soul-stirring food. This gala will have an English Pub theme, complete with home-brewed specialty beer. After much deliberation, we have decided to forgo paid entertainment and reduce the suggested donation to $50 per person. There will still be entertainment, although it may be story-telling with Woodcrest Farm community members. Call 919-933-5105 or email woodcrestintern@gmail.com to make reservations.
