Bee Curious

Firefly Grove is an emerging regenerative farm where dreams take root.

Here, visitors can wander on immersive tours, take workshops that spark wonder, and slumber under starlit skies.

Using Green Care as a foundation, our offerings nurture a connection to mind, body, and the Earth.

We harvest exotic fruits and vegetables to share with chefs, members, and guests who appreciate nature’s gifts. As each season turns, new possibilities unfold.

Our Creatures

Each creature, from the tiniest bee to our giant bunny, has a special part to play in the symphony of Firefly Grove. They help nurture the land, pollinate blossoms & bring cheer to all who visit. Just as we care for them, they fill our hearts in return, evoking feelings of comfort and calm.​ Come meet Mr. Bun Buns & his merry companions, feed our chickens & experience the healing touch of our mini-horses.

Green Care is an approach that nurtures human health and well-being through the natural connection we share with animals and the earth. At Firefly Grove, our Green Care practices include social horticulture, care farming, animal-assisted activities, and nature-inspired arts, creating gentle pathways to connection, growth, and renewal. We invite individuals to experience the restorative power of nature firsthand.
