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!

Here about us in this video:

On November 4, 2025 voters in Bloomfield Hills Schools will be asked to consider a Sinking Fund Replacement Proposal. The district is asking to replace and extend the millage to levy 1.5 mills for a period of 10 years.
