Our Farm

Housed on 93 acres and owned by Bloomfield Hills Schools since 1967.  Animals such as sheep, horses, cattle, and goats graze the pastures along with acres of vegetable production, community gardens, and curated horticultural gardens.

Our mission is to cultivate community through education and engagement with agriculture and the local food system. 

The authenticity of a small-scale working farm connects students and the community to where their food comes from. Learning comes alive with meaning and purpose as we welcome every learner to discover and wonder in the world around them. Bowers School Farm has something to explore each season!

We finished the big task of planting the hoophouse with summer crops. Scroll to see the process. It’s a lot of work to pull out the winter crops, reset the beds, set up irrigation, and replant. But it will be worth it when we taste those early
