Once cultivated by Native Americans and European settlers, the 162-acre FARM Institute at Katama Farm is both a working farm and a farm-based educational hub. In 2005, the FARM Institute, an island nonprofit devoted to connecting children to agriculture, made it their headquarters and restored the buildings and grounds.

The Farm Institute became a Trustees-managed property in 2016 at which time The Trustees built a teaching kitchen to complete the cycle of farm-to-table. In 2021, a new partnership was formed with The Trustees and Slough Farm to continue our farm-based educational programs and events. Morning Glory and Grey Barn are actively farming Katama Farm. Visitors can often see both Morning Glory cows and Grey Barn sheep grazing in the fields, or walk through the Katama Barn to meet The Trustees' sheep, goats, chickens, and roaming ducks.

The farm is open for visitors to stroll the barn, visit with the animals, or walk through the Friendship Garden. A pair of flat, under-two-mile walking trails wind along the south pastures.  Drop off the kids for one of our hands-on farm programs, learn a new kitchen skill in an adult cooking class, or bring the whole family for a farm dinner in the summer.
