An average of 5,000 public, private and home school children visit Brazos de Dios annually on spring field trips. Here, many see and experience for the first time, the simplicity of an alternative culture based on rural living, agricultural skills and quality craftsmanship set within a community context of service and care. Tour activities include a horse-drawn hayride, a sheep dog demonstration, a guided tour to see some of the farm animals and a visit to our petting pen. Tour our homestead gardens and orchard and see an audio-visual presentation of our community life throughout the seasons of the year. Watch our craft apprentices demonstrate various homesteading crafts such as spinning, blacksmithing, pottery, and woodworking using natural materials and basic hand tools. Cap the day off with a cup of all natural homemade vanilla ice cream.
