The Chewonki Farm, on the Chewonki property, is horse-powered, small, and diversified; its primary goal is to educate program participants while producing food, wood products, and fiber for the community. There are approximately 15 acres of open land; one acre is cultivated for vegetable gardens and the remaining 14 acres are pasture and hay fields. The managed woodlot is approximately 150 acres.
