Welcome to Stearns Farm
Come spend an afternoon at Stearns Homestead, the last working, educational farm in Parma, Ohio. This forty eight acre farm has lots of animals – always a favorite with the children – as well as several historic museum houses and a Yankee barn, loaded with antiques and historic items.
We also have a country store and a Farmers Market throughout the summer and fall, where you can purchase homestead and locally grown produce, products made from goats milk, local honey, baked goods and much more. Be sure to come early; our fresh eggs go quickly!
So, whether you’re a history buff, a teacher, parent or grandparent looking for a kid friendly fun and educational activities, come experience a slice of old fashioned farm life, right in your backyard!
Stearns Homestead is FREE!
Hours open to the public:
- Saturday and Sunday 12 noon- 4:00 p.m.,
- May through Mid-October
- Special winter holiday events.

The American Girl Doll Company donated us a brand new American Girl Doll, Kit Kittredge. Stop by our different events throughout the summer and purchase a raffle ticket for her. She will be raffled off at the end of our Fall Festival. We will have a picture of her so you can see what she looks like. She would make a nice gift for a special little girl or maybe even a collector.
