See how our campus farm brings freshness to life.
Sometimes practicing a traditional art leads to innovation. Take Covenant Woods’ campus farm, for example. This 10,000-square-foot garden — which is located right on site and managed by our professional farm manager with a staff of volunteers — provides freshly harvested vegetables, berries, figs, and herbs to Covenant Woods’ restaurants all year round. You can’t find a more authentic farm-to-table experience anywhere. And yet, the farm is also growing something more: community, friendships, and opportunities to learn.
Breathe deep and explore your natural surroundings.
There’s a certain exhilaration that comes from spending time outdoors — not to mention the proven health benefits of being immersed in nature — and Covenant Woods is tailor-made for outdoor activity. Try a brisk walk or relaxing stroll along our many trails and enjoy the beauty of The Spring, designated an official Virginia Treasure. Birdwatchers will have plenty of sightings to record, including the many Eastern bluebirds who flock to our bluebird sanctuary. If you’re an angler at heart, throw a line into our catch-and-release fishing pond. And don’t forget to bring your grandchildren for a visit and share all the natural wonders of our campus.
