First Acre

First Acre is a working homestead farm in Johnston County where students explore STEM through soil science, ecosystems, and real farm building projects.

Our spring series combines nature science and woodworking skills so students can learn how farms function as living systems.

Students will explore

• soil biology
• seed germination
• pollination systems
• water movement in plants
• ecosystems and food chains

And build

• wildlife habitat
• garden tools
• farm markers
• wood keepsakes
