About Fernbrook Farms
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.
Fernbrook Farms Education Center Mission and Purpose
Our mission is to provide hands–on educational experiences for people of all ages by exploring the complex interconnectedness of our natural world. Our purpose is to educate about agriculture, the sources of our food and the importance of nutrition for healthy lifestyles.
