Shepherd's Spring

Heifer Global Village is a collection of authentic model houses from around the world: mud huts, a stilt house, thatch roofs, rain barrels, animal pens, beautiful tapestries, prayer flags, water jugs, hand-painted Mayan tiles, and so much more. These homes represent impoverished areas around the globe where Heifer International has worked to eradicate hunger and poverty through gifts of livestock, education, and caring for the environment. Shepherd's Spring works in partnership with Heifer to provide experiential, highly rewarding programs for children, teens, and adults who can then use their new experiences and insights to go out and make a difference in someone else's life. Shepherd’s Spring is one of only three such learning centers in the country and the only one on the East Coast. The others are located at the Howell Nature Center in Howell, MI, and Heifer Ranch in Perryville, AR. Programs range from one-hour walking tours to half-day to overnights. Reservations required.
