more than a farm
At the foundation of the “More Than a Farm” vision is the utilization of a farm as a means to develop and share practices that honor the earth and the interconnectedness of all living things. Our greater goal is to create a movement that goes beyond our farm, and serves as a model to build more resilient, caring, and sustainable communities in the northeast Ohio region and beyond.
Upcoming Events
Register for Summer 2025 Farm Camp
Summer camp at Kelly’s Working Well Farm is a special experience. Each day is unique as participants choose their own activities, whether it be berry picking and making jam, farm and nature-based arts and crafts like finger knitting or stone painting, fire building or fort construction, or group games like ghost in the graveyard. This summer we are offering 7 weeks of Farm Camp open to children ages 5 – 14. Sign up for one week or all 7. For more information about sibling and multiple week discounts, and to register go to Summer Camps.

Thanks to Jack Shea and his crew from Fox News 8 for coming out to do a story about our situation! After the judge determined that our educational programming does qualify as agritourism, Bainbridge Township has decided to appeal that decision. This makes it harder for us to resolve the remaining fire code citations with the fire inspector continuing to claim that he is not qualified to inspect the buildings for which he issued those citations. Go to Public Awareness Campaign for updates and to learn more.
Kelly’s Working Well Farm is an educational permaculture farm dedicated to the community. We raise a wide variety of animals, and grow a diverse array of perennial fruit and nut trees and shrubs, plus herbs and an annual vegetable garden. The farm also showcases several structures using local materials and natural building techniques.
Sign up for the More Than a Farm/Kelly’s Working Well Farm newsletter below to keep updated on farm events, activities, initiatives and collaborations.
We are open to the public year round to host your agriculturally oriented organization, activity or event.

Through our partnerships with like-minded organizations we are dedicated to building a more beautiful, healthy, inspiring community.
