Learning Tree Farm was founded in 1973 by elementary school teachers Sally Keyes and Jean Ryan with the intention to connect children from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds to nature. Nearly half a century later, Learning Tree Farm has provided nature-based educational programs for 130 schools and thousands of families across the Miami Valley.
The nonprofit farm is home to two historic barns that house farm animals like goats, sheep, ponies, donkeys and more, a learning garden with local seasonal vegetables, fruits and herbs, hiking trails and a historic farmhouse built in 1829.
