Hatch curiosity and inspire learning.
Our Educational Programs bring the farm to life with hands-on, interactive experiences that connect students with nature, animals, and agriculture. Designed for schools, camps, and community groups, these programs spark curiosity, build responsibility, and turn everyday lessons into unforgettable memories.
Cardinale Farms is located in Howell, New Jersey, on Easy Street — a name that perfectly matches our laid-back vibe. Surrounded by rolling fields and local parks, and just a quick trip from the Jersey Shore, our nearly 60-acre farm offers the ideal mix of country charm and convenience for families across the Tri-State Area.
