Living Classroom

Learning from the Land

Set on the Piedmont plateau and rich in natural resources, Juneberry Ridge LLC is the ideal educational partner. Although a separate entity from the Juneberry Educational Foundation, the farm was founded by an avid environmentalist, who shares our belief in the power of regenerative agriculture to reshape the future.

As a working regenerative farm and event space, Juneberry Ridge offers an immersive “classroom” in which our students can practice and refine their understanding of polyculture practices and farm management, while gaining inspiration from some of the most beautiful spaces nature has to offer.

Commercial Greenhouse

The one-acre (43,000 sqft.) commercial greenhouse at Juneberry Ridge provides real-world experience for students to learn about large scale plant production. This is a great introduction for those interested in working in the horticulture industry and for farmers who may want to launch their own greenhouse operation.
