Maybury Farm is located on 8 Mile Rd., 1.5 miles west of Beck Road.  The farm cannot be accessed from  Maybury State Park.  The farm entrance is 1/2 mile west of the State Park entrance.  Parking is free at Maybury Farm.

Visitors to events, camp, tours, storytime and programs may be photographed by one of our employees, volunteers or a professional photographer. If our faculty or staff judge that education or research may benefit from the use of the photographs, Northville Community Foundation/Maybury Farm may publish, not sell, for academic purposes, or use them on our website and our social media posts.

​

All farm closures due to inclement weather conditions will be posted on Social Media - please check our Facebook page
prior to visiting the farm.

Please be aware that, to keep our animals and visitors safe, a new fencing system was installed. The white wire on the inside of the animal paddocks has a intermittent, low voltage current running through it to discourage the animals from destroying the fences - please interact with the animals at the black gates. Thank you!

Learn about agriculture in the Maybury Farm Garden! It is used for educational tours and summer farm camp - they can learn about a variety of fruits, vegetables and flowers hands on - touch, smell and taste the fresh bounty of a growing garden, and perhaps inspire a young gardener at home!

​

Our garden provides fresh snacks for our camp kids and you can check for fresh veggies for sale in the general store during the growing season. 

Nothing goes to waste in our garden - anything not used for education purposes is enjoyed by our animals!

Storytime

Starts at 11am

​

Children will have fun while learning about a unique farm topic each week through stories, songs, and sensory play. Special animal guests may also visit us at the end of Storytime. Maybury Farm develops our story times based on the Every Child Ready to Read program which is a research-based early  literacy program, from the American Library Association. The Every Child Ready to Read program encourages parents to interact with their children using the five practices of early literacy: singing, talking, reading, writing, and playing. These five practices develop the components of early literacy, including phonological awareness, vocabulary, print awareness, letter knowledge, and background knowledge, which prepare children to learn to read and write in school.

AGE: All ages welcome!
