Stonewall Farm

What Stonewall Farm does

Stonewall Farm is a 501c3 nonprofit agricultural education center located on 120+ acres in Keene, New Hampshire, on land farmed continuously since the mid-1700s and operated under nonprofit status since 1994. The organization delivers experiential programs in sustainable agriculture, regenerative land management, and environmental education to families, preschool-through-graduate students, and regional farmers across the Monadnock Region and broader New England. Its core service portfolio spans youth camps (summer, school-year, and vacation programs for ages 3.5 to 11+), on-site and off-site field trip curricula (Stonewall Farm Sampler, Farm to School, Maple Sugaring, Wetland Ecology, Winter Adventure), a Savory Institute HUB training program for farmers and landowners, retail sales via an on-site Farm Store and CSA shares, and venue rental for weddings, corporate events, and birthday parties.

The technology stack is operational and biological rather than digital. It consists of a 2.5-acre no-till market garden, a Caterpillar Tunnel for season extension, an intensive rotational grazing system anchored by a K-Bar-K Dorset sheep flock (transitioned from dairy in 2022-2025), Ecological Outcome Monitoring under the Savory Institute, and a timber-frame event venue with a 30-foot fieldstone fireplace and 1,800 sq ft Grand Room. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the website (stonewallfarm.org), Camp Management registration platform, Stripe-powered online donations, Constant Contact email newsletter, and active social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn, supplemented by community events and regional partnerships.

Revenue is a hybrid of earned and contributed income. Earned streams include camp tuition ($170-$285/week and $60/day school-year camps), field trips ($10/person with $150 group minimum), wedding and corporate venue rentals (peak/high/non-peak seasonal packages, $250 birthday parties), Farm Store retail, and CSA subscriptions. Contributed income comprises individual donations ($25-$1,000+ tiers), four-tier corporate sponsorships from Cultivator at $500 to Barnraiser at $5,000, foundation grants (Monadnock Food Co-op Farm Fund), and event-based fundraising. The customer base is highly distributed across families, K-12 schools, event clients, and the local community, with no individual customer representing material concentration. Go-to-market centers on community-driven programming anchored at the single Keene, NH location, with regional reach through partnerships and the Savory Institute HUB designation.
