The holiday season is the most special time of year at Boni-Bel Farm & Country Store. Staff and students spend weeks preparing for Thanksgiving weekend, the official start of sales for Green Chimneys’ fresh-cut sustainably grown Christmas trees, holiday wreaths and greens, and gift baskets made to order.
And every purchase supports students with special needs. Green Chimneys School students learn many things, including skills to last them a lifetime. Our Country Store vocational program gives students the opportunity to develop and practice employable skills, learn to manage responsibilities, gain confidence and ultimately, feel successful.
So come with the family to select that perfect Christmas tree or choose among our unique, one-of-a-kind handcrafted gifts and gift baskets. Enjoy cookies, tea or cocoa, say hello to the students, and enjoy the coziness of the farm during the holiday season!

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.
