Peinhardt Edgewood Farm is primarily an evolving family farm focusing on rural life in the 1930's and 1940's. It is a member of ALHFAM -- the Association for Living Historical Farms and Agricultural Museums.
America's children are drifting further and further away from their agricultural roots and heritage. Many adults grew up in the days when visits to Grandma and Grandpa's farm were common occurrences. But few of these farms remain and children today do not have that same opportunity. To most children, milk does not come from cows and eggs do not come from chickens; they come from the grocery store.
The goal of this program is to help fill this void in children's experience that is creating an agricultural illiteracy. The program theme is "Life and Living on a Working Family Farm." The focus is that the barnyard and animals, the house and garden, the field, the woods and the horses all have an important purpose in helping the farmer make a living for him and his family.
This guide will serve as an introduction and preview to the Peinhardt Edgewood Farm.
