Teaching the Next Generation

At Olivenhain Farms we believe the next generation has few opportunities to learn the ways of old: farming, gardening, and self-reliance. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit providing educational homesteading programs that help families pause and take a look back into the simple life, even if only for a moment.

“Do not tell them how to do it. Show them how to do it and do not say a word. If you tell them, they will watch your lips move. If you show them, they will want to do it themselves.”

Maria Montessori
