Transformed from the harsh wilderness the Sisters found when they arrived in America, Villa Maria now encompasses 726 acres of picturesque farmland, wetlands, forest, a bird sanctuary and nature trails. It is also home to a small herd of cattle and a flock of sheep.
Villa Maria Farm produces food for residents and guests of Villa Maria Community Center as well as people served by food banks and outreach programs in the area.
Educational programs for young and old on topics of land and soil use, rearing of livestock, and care of wetlands, forests and wildlife are offered in cooperation with Farm-Based Environmental Education. Come walk the trails, taste organic produce, touch the lambs, smell the wildflowers, and see God's bounty. It's only natural!
