Meet Sarah Antel, Education Director

My interest and education in agriculture and the outdoors began in my childhood growing up on a small farm in Northeast Ohio.  I ate eggs laid by our chickens, watched goat kids be born, vegetables grow be harvested and preserved, and the seasons change.

After graduating college I volunteered for a year with an AmeriCorps/Student Conservation Association program in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts.  A portion of this program introduced me to teaching where we taught environmental education and science in nearby schools.  I spent the next few years teaching at various environmental education centers through out New England.

In 2004 I graduated from Antioch New England University with a Master’s in Education and New Hampshire teacher certification.  I was a classroom teacher for two years as well as a farmer raising pigs, beef cattle and a substantial layer flock.  I found I missed teaching children outdoors and desired to integrate agriculture into the lessons I taught.  Serendipity smiled and I found this job at Stonewall Farm.  I have been here for five years and am still learning new skills and love my job.
