A Working Farmstead
Leaning Post Acres is a small working homestead and farm school in the Sonoran Desert of Picture Rocks, Arizona. We live here, raise animals, grow food, care for livestock, and practice the everyday skills of farmstead life on 5 acres. What we produce here—along with the knowledge and skills we gain along the way—is part of what we share with our community.
We believe the best learning happens when you can roll up your sleeves and be part of it. Our animals, gardens, tools, and daily farm work become opportunities to ask questions, solve problems, explore, and discover how things work. For our young Farmsteaders, that means learning agricultural science through real experiences on a working farm—not simply learning about farming from a book.
But we're always learning, too. Farmsteading is a lifelong process, and no one person knows everything. We learn from experience, from one another, and from people who have spent years developing skills we want to learn. That's why we bring farmers, homesteaders, educators, and other specialists to the farm to share their knowledge through select adult classes and workshops.
At Leaning Post Acres, the farm is more than the setting for our programs. The farm itself is part of the classroom—and we're all still learning.
