About Fernbrook
Fernbrook Farms is a 230-acre working farm with over 60 acres of woods, two streams and two ponds. Larry “Farmer Q” Kuser, third generation owner of Fernbrook Farms, oversees four businesses on the Farm: The Inn at Fernbrook, Fernbrook Wholesale Nursery, Fernbrook Farms Community Supported Agriculture and Fernbrook Farms Education Center.
The Fernbrook Farms Education Center was formed in 2001 as a non-profit organization to educate children and adults about agriculture, food and the environment. We provide year-round programs for families, public and private schools, homeschooled children, campers, scout groups and more.
