Wagbo Farm Mission Statement


At Wagbo Peace Center, doing business as Wagbo Farm & Education Center, (AKA Wagbo) our mission is to provide an inspirational place for people to connect with each other and with the land. Inspired by the wishes of Martha Wagbo and her sisters, Wagbo strives to create a place where sustainable living, support of natural resources, peace and justice and arts and culture are facilitated through education and demonstration.

To fulfill our mission, we offer a variety of educational programming related to sustainable agriculture, homesteading, the natural environment, creative expression, historically relevant cultural practices, personal and community resilience, peace and the intersection of all of these. Specific programs include community gatherings including celebrations of our relationship to the seasons and the land; do-it-yourself demonstrations for food and fiber production, foraging, preservation, butchering, sheering, maple syrup making; self-expression through music events, poetry readings, fiber arts skill-shares; public presentations, family-friendly farm and forest tours, field trips and demonstrations.

YOUNG BOY AND THE STREAM UPDATE

Wagbo Partnering with The Friends of Ernest Hemingway in Horton Bay

 A sculpture, “The Young Boy and the Stream”, created by the late Martha Sulfridge of Boyne City, brings to life a Hemingway not often seen–––the young boy, sturdy and resolute, who came of age here in our northern lower Michigan. Her sculpture is a masterpiece of movement and expression envisioning young Ernie battling an enormous fish and is on par with the renown works of Ernest Hemingway himself. This life size bronze will be gifted to the community and will reside in a newly created garden at the Bay Township Hall in Horton Bay ofering a space for contemplation and education, now and long into the future. 

WE ARE IN PIECES!

 You can help us all come together! The Friends of Ernest Hemingway in Horton Bay are actively fundraising for the costs of enlargement (complete), bronzing, treatment and installation and will be working with Wagbo Farm & Education Center, a 501c3, who will receive and direct the contributions. The project cost is $53,185. You can make an on-line contribution by clicking on the link below. Checks can also be written to Wagbo Farm-Hemingway and mailed to Friends of Hemingway, 217 S. Lake St., Boyne City, MI 49712.

Make a Contribution

View the Prototype at Freshwater Gallery

 We encourage the public to come view the prototype at Freshwater Art Gallery in Boyne City and are asking for your help raising funds for the cost of this bronze which totals $48,500. We are proud to be working with Wagbo Farm & Education Center as fiduciary. Thank you for being a part of this historic moment. Robin and Tony 231-582-2588.
