We have plenty of straw and fodder.      Genesis 24:25                                                                                       

The Educational Farm Silo
  • Silos are for storing silage or haylage, a healthy fermented livestock feed that is nutrient-dense; in the Bible this type of feed is called fodder
  • Silos are disappearing from America's landscape, and are being replaced with plastic bags for silage or haylage storage
  • Our silo was rebuilt, for the purpose of educating about farms and the food they produce for people and animals
  • Our silo is unlike any other.  It has a circular staircase, four stories high, that enables visitors to climb to the top floor
  • The silo provides a bird's-eye view of the farm and livestock
  • The fourth floor is The Good Shepherd Prayer Silo (GSPS) room
  • Enjoy our adventurous and educational silo
  • Self-guided silo tours are donation-based
