Wolfe’s Neck Farm is a non-profit organization and working saltwater farm dedicated to promoting sustainable agriculture, education, and outdoor recreation while preserving its 626 acres of open space and historic buildings. Its programs educate both children and adults about sustainable agriculture and connect them to the natural world.
