Stratford Ecological Center

"One of our favorite Saturday morning activities is to visit the farm."

"What a cool place to visit! I volunteered to help during my daughter’s school field trip and had such a fantastic time. The staff was incredible and knew exactly how to make the experience fun for the kids. Our large group split into smaller teams and everyone got to move through the different farm activities. We got to adventure in the woods, pet a llama and sheep, feed pigs, make apple cider, feed chickens, and pick / eat some fresh veggies from the garden! Our tour guide, KiKi was fantastic with my group; she kept everyone engaged and was super patient and kind. We all learned so much! After we were done exploring the farm, we all enjoyed our lunches in the covered picnic table area and had a beautiful view of the farm while we ate. Stratford was a great place for a school field trip, and now I’m excited to take my family back here for the upcoming fall themed activities!!"

"What a gem to have in Central Ohio. I try to walk the trails and visit the animals regularly. The maple syrup event is great! And I love fresh eggs. I hope to attend more of their educational programs in the future."

"Excellent way to connect with nature. Great trails, farm animals, and other fine ways to enjoy a semi- curated experience of a working farm. Great volunteers and so much wonderful leaning for the kids."

"This is a great place to watch farm animals. The barn always has new babies and you can interact with the animals."
