Maybury Farm (Northville Community Foundation)
Our mission is to educate children and families in our surrounding communities about the animals and agriculture that are essential to a traditional Michigan-based working farm, through hands-on experiences that are both engaging and educational. We work to create an awareness and appreciation of the animals and land that provide much of the food, fiber, and other resources that are utilized and consumed and expand knowledge and awareness of agriculture and its vast and vital role in our world.
Our Vision
We seek to cultivate attitudes of care, conservation, and cooperation in those who visit the farm in an effort to help those in our communities become more thoughtful consumers. We hope the children who visit the farm and engage with its animals, agriculture, fields, and forests will walk away with knowledge and, most importantly, inspiration. We hope to inspire in children a desire to be intentional in how they interact with people, animals, and the land. We further hope that the habits they create and the vocations they choose will have a positive impact on the world around them.
Our Values
Respect, Kindness & Gratitude.
