The Camp Celo Farm includes 16 acres made up of woods, pasture and a large vegetable and flower garden. We also keep goats, cows, chickens, pigs, and rabbits. All food from our 1.5 acre garden goes directly to the camp kitchen to be prepared fresh for the campers and staff. The garden is a central part of the camp community and typically provides to the kitchen about 5,000 pounds of vegetables each summer. The garden currently utilizes organic, biodynamic, and a mix of no-till and tillage-based farming methods.
In addition to providing a beautiful setting for the camp and producing much of our food, the farm provides campers with an opportunity to participate in a working farm. The garden is host to numerous activities and chores with campers. Such activities may include group harvesting, threshing and grinding wheat, drawing or writing poetry, braiding onions, hanging garlic, observing and counting pollinators, among others.
