Farm Memberships
your membership helps support the farm
Welcome to YOUR local farm! At Bowers School Farm, we welcome every visitor to discover and wonder in the world around them by partnering with our community to provide fun and enriching experiences. Now, more than ever, food, farming and the outdoors are essential to healthy living and harmony with the world around us. With over 93 acres of forest, fields, gardens, and barns, there is always something new to explore.
As a non-profit organization, owned and operated by Bloomfield Hills Schools since 1967, our public funding supports teaching and learning activities for the K-12 schools. Recreation, family, and special events are core to our mission as we build a sense of belonging and “place” for all who enter our gates. Summer camps, weekend educational programming, and access to fresh, local produce are just a few of the many experiences that enrich our community. These activities are made possible by the generosity of the community and funded through donor support, user fees, memberships, and the sales of our farm fresh products.
Join us as a member in cultivating the health of our local food system, environment, and community while engaging in farm-based experiences and learning!
