Belle Meade Farm and School is located on a 138- acre working farm in
Sperryville, Virginia in rural Rappahannock County. The school serves the
transition years of adolescence with an excellent academic program that
integrates sustainable living, growing food, caring for one another, and working
to create harmony and balance with the land. A solid academic program of
humanities, mathematics, foreign language, science, art and music is enhanced by
students' participation in the activities of the farm. The farm in return
produces food for the school, its families and the community.
The farm raises
free range grass fed beef, vegetables, eggs and pork without the use of hormones
or pesticides.
