Farm Operations - Heifer ProgramNot All of the Farm Workers Are Human
Through a partnership with Heifer International, we are utilizing the Jones Farm in Oberlin as a training and education center for developing small-scale agricultural production systems, appropriate to cities or small farms. Heifer-supported programs include livestock (worms, bees, chickens, turkeys, ducks, pigs, sheep, and fish). Heifer is guided by a philosophy of “passing on the gift”. Heifer has provided support through the provision of livestock, training, and connection to other Heifer-funded programs throughout the mid-West. In turn, the farm will pass on skills and livestock to help start other small farming initiatives in cities or rural areas. The Jones Farm represents Heifer’s first investment in Ohio.
