About the Farm
Investing in the future... One child at a time
Teresa Anderson opened Slice of Heaven Educational Farm in 2018 after working with animals and children in various aspects (camps, swim lessons, Pony Club and more) for over 15 years. The farm is the culmination of a lifelong dream to create a special place where schools and families could have a safe environment to engage in interactive learning about animals, agriculture, and environmentally sustainable practices.
Guests can also:
Take a ride in our tractor-pulled barrel train.
Tour the farm in a horse or tractor pulled wagon.
Touch the sky on our in-ground jump pillow.
While visitors are having fun around the farm, they’re still learning, because we don’t do learning like your average classroom. Questions like “Why does that turkey’s head change colors? Why do we need rain? Why are worms important to the environment?” and a host of other things you haven’t thought about in years are what we talk about daily. We love teaching our communities, making kids smile, and watching the joy on faces when they hear Zeus bray, hold a bunny for the first time, or watch a baby chick hatch.
Barn 3 - Hay Barn
- Our hay barn doubles as an area for all kinds of events: Birthday Parties, Corporate Events, Reunions, Bridal / Baby Showers, Photo Shoots.
- Features a small stage and plenty of seating.
- Feel free to stop in and rest a while.
- You will also find various Saturday activities taking place in the barn.
Fishing
- Fishing at the farm is so much fun. The Tonkawa Native Americans stood on this ground years ago and fished from the tank. The Edwards and Trinity aquifers run just below the surface and keep water flowing year round. Ask us why the water flow changes direction at different times of the year!
- Join us at the tank to catch (and release) some catfish, bass and perch.
- Bring your own pole, or borrow one of ours (first come, first served).
Garden
- Be sure to visit our raised bed garden right next to the jump pillow. You will find samples of various vegetables and herbs. Crops vary by season, but something should almost always be growing!
- Look for insects while you are there, too!
- We also anticipate a larger plot of sample produce as well as "Fruits of the Farm" for sale this spring.
