Wow - After one week of registration opening, more than half of our Agriventure Summer Camp spots are sold out, Little Farmers is close to sold out and our other programs are quickly filling up too!

We are so grateful to each and every one of you who support our little farm. It is inspiring knowing our community values time spent outdoors, learning how a farm works and what it provides us each day & getting closer to the natural world.

We're looking forward to seeing everyone again in the spring! 2025 is going to be amazing, I just know it! 🌱

Remember when Pip and Polly were so wooly?! After we had them sheared, we saved all their wool for the lovely members of @kw_weavers_spinners_guild and they will use it for an upcoming project. Some members from the guild will be joining us for Open Tuesday (July 2nd) in the upper barn to show us their amazing skills! We might have to bring Pip and Polly by to check it out too 🐑 🐑 #kitchenerwaterloo #steckleheritagefarm #kwcevents #kitchenerwaterloocambridge #kwawesome #stecklehomestead #kitchenerfarm #spinningweaving #sheeplove

This is Steckle!

We are a registered charitable organization which operates programs for youth and the community on a heritage designated 15 acre farm in the City of Kitchener. Connect to where your food comes from, educate youth and families with hands on learning experiences, and inspire the Region of Waterloo to appreciate the importance of Agriculture -- this is what we do! We host birthday parties, are a gorgeous space for weddings and corporate events, and run fantastic programs for kids and their families. Come see what we’re all about on an Open Tuesday between May and October, from 3-7pm! Only $5 a family!
