Situated on 137 acres bordered by the Vermilion River, our landscape is as diverse as our offerings: fertile farmland, quiet woodlands, open meadows, winding trails, and a five-acre pond all create space for exploration, reflection, and growth. Every element of Bellwether is designed to nurture physical and spiritual wellness, foster environmental stewardship, and inspire collective responsibility for a just and sustainable future.
Here, education is not confined to classrooms. From farm-to-table meals and composting systems to solar panels and repurposed materials, our facilities serve as immersive teaching tools, demonstrating what it means to live in right relationship with the earth.
