Where the Charm of Farm Life Meets the Joy of Learning
Three Collie Farm is where the charm of farm life meets the joy of learning. Our farm is not just a place to see alpacas, sheep, puppies, donkeys, goats, and birds. It is a haven for those who want to get closer to nature, learn new skills, and experience the tranquility of rural living.
We will be offering a wide variety of classes including soap making, cheese making, culinary and other classes relating to homesteading and farming. If you have a special skill that you would like to share, please contact us!
Join Us for Hands-On Homesteading Classes at the Farm!
We’re excited to offer a variety of homesteading workshops right here on our farm, led by Dr. Nancy Rossiter, an experienced educator with over 25 years of college-level teaching and a culinary degree from FSCJ. Each class is hands-on, practical, and designed to empower you with new skills in a relaxed, farm-based setting. As we grow, we’ll be adding more workshops and welcoming guest instructors to expand our offerings.
Please Note:
This is Florida—we work with the weather, not against it! Workshops are held in a large steel building with limited air conditioning. We recommend wearing cool comfortable clothes, closed-toed shoes, and bring bug spray. We’ll do our best to keep you cool and comfortable.
After class, guests are welcome to linger on the farm and visit with our friendly animals, including Highland cows, alpacas, donkeys, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, and geese.
Come learn, create, and connect—right here on the farm!
