What a cool place to visit! I volunteered to help during my daughter’s school field trip and had such a fantastic time.The staff was incredible and knew exactly how to make the experience fun for the kids. Our large group split into smaller teams and everyone got to move through the different farm activities. We got to adventure in the woods, pet a llama and sheep, feed pigs, make apple cider, feed chickens, and pick / eat some fresh veggies from the garden! Our tour guide, KiKi was fantastic with my group; she kept everyone engaged and was super patient and kind. We all learned so much!After we were done exploring the farm, we all enjoyed our lunches in the covered picnic table area and had a beautiful view of the farm while we ate.Stratford was a great place for a school field trip, and now I’m excited to take my family back here for the upcoming fall themed activities!!

A lovely piece of property near Columbus. The venue is very nice for hosting small events, and the grounds are diverse, with farm animals and gardens, as well as nature trails.

What a gem to have in Central Ohio. I try to walk the trails and visit the animals regularly. The maple syrup event is great! And I love fresh eggs. I hope to attend more of their educational programs in the future.

Excellent way to connect with nature. Great trails, farm animals, and other fine ways to enjoy a semi- curated experience of a working farm. Great volunteers and so much wonderful leaning for the kids.

I surprised my sweetie with a Maple Syrup Tour at Stratford Ecological Center on a crisp late winter morning. For the bargain price of $4 per person, I was expecting to spend approximately 30-40 minutes in a room learning about the syrup making process. Being wrong never felt so good! Having a reservation which I had paid for in advance, we checked in promptly where they suggested we borrow some of their boots due to muddy conditions & that proved needed as the terrain deiced. How awesome is that! Once everyone had their boots on we met fireside where our guide introduced herself, provided history of their facility & informed us of what to expect during our experience. Next stop: animal barn! Being the animal lover that I am, this was my absolute favorite part. Not only did I not know that this was included (bonus!), but I was so grateful to be able to get up close to the new calf & her mommy & see the oh so pregnant piggie. Even better we got to get in the sheep pin & the goat/llama pins where we could pet these adorable creatures. My heart was so happy I almost never wanted to leave, but it was time to move onto our next adventure... maple syrup! The walk from the animal barn to the maple syrup area was about 20 minutes. I imagine this varies based on weather conditions & the amount & ages of those on your tour. The scenery was absolutely breath-taking as the sun peeped through the leafless trees, casting beautiful shadows about. There was a dusting of snow on the ground & a crisp, icy terrain on the ground & the creek. As we walked we stopped periodically to learn about how to identify maple trees, the variety of maple trees in our area & all about how the seasons impacts the process. We got to see the process firsthand & I was surprised to see that the sap is clear. Once we arrived at the cabin we learned about the filtration system and the science of the sap to syrup process where we got to tast the sap & then the syrup. It is absolutely delicious & pure in taste without the senseless added sugar commonly found in those found in stores. Another interesting & entertaining moment came when we were shown how hot stones were placed in water inside a hollowed-out log. This experience delivered a lot of bang for your buck & it felt really good to support this local working farm. I am going to be sure to check their website for future events to explore.

This is a great place to watch farm animals. The barn always has new babies and you can interact with the animals.
