Favorite place in Three Rivers

Every visit I make to Gale Woods Farm is a wonderful experience. I enjoy the peaceful setting in the countryside, and I discover something new about agriculture every time I visit. Gale Woods helps people experience farming and learn how their food gets from field to table, so it is a perfect fit within Three Rivers’ mission of promoting environmental stewardship.
