Farm & Wildlife Center

The Sam and Myra Ross Farm & Wildlife Center, located on our Brewster Campus, is home to over 300 farm animals, horses and permanently injured or imprinted wildlife. The farm is supported by a dedicated team of animal experts and caretakers who provide the utmost care for our diverse species.

The Farm & Wildlife Center Is open to the public on Saturdays & Sundays. Plan your visit

As a popular public attraction, the Farm & Wildlife Center hosts thousands of visitors for enjoyable and educational self-guided farm tours during weekend hours.

Animal-assisted activities and therapies enrich the Green Chimneys School experience. Get a peek at the farm, meet some of the animals, and see how they’re helping students.

Brownie

With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
