Avalon Teaching Farm

Helping people become closer to the land and their food.

Avalon Teaching Farm is your place for learning and doing. horsemanship, learning how to raise livestock, raising livestock and gardening on shared space, and home study support is here for you in northwest Vermont.

Winter weather is here and another year without an indoor learning space. So, I created a GoFundMe page. I hate asking for help, but I have to remember we do all this for the kids, and families. See the widget below.
