Responsible Tourism Showcase
The Educational Travel Community’s recognition of our Living-Museum educational programs, bridging the traveler’s experience, community learning and economy, is based on the long heritage of this eighty year old farm estate.
40th Year Anniversary
Many Reasons to Celebrate
The Green Living Project’s 2008 video introduces some of the ecological practices of Gibb’s Farm.
Many will be explored during our first annual Earth Week.
Margaret and Jim Gibb concerned them-selves with the ecological responsibility of the farm soon after they started to manage it in 1948. Concerned not only as stewards of over 500 acres of land at the time, but for the community and wildlife as well.
The planned events will help the participant better understand the how we share responsibility to sustain the environment and many examples found at Gibb’s Farm.
