The Preserve at Shaker Village conserves and shares native prairies, woodlands, watersheds, fields, canebrakes and diverse wildlife—all perfectly framed by miles of hand-laid rock walls.

Each year, thousands of visitors hike, run and ride on nearly 40 miles of recreational trails that weave through The Preserve. Managing invasive species is not only important for ensuring a quality visitor experience, but also for protecting a diverse, and sometimes delicate, ecosystem.

We need your help to be good stewards!

If you are not adverse to a little hard work in the outdoors, join us as we battle erosion, clear invasive species and protect one of Central Kentucky's most popular outdoor spaces.

From March through October, for three hours on the third Saturday of each month, the Shaker Village Preserve Team will lead volunteer trail crews to help maintain the Village's trails.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. Volunteers will use hand tools including shovels and loppers, and should wear leather work gloves and sturdy, closed-toe shoes or work boots.

Call 859.734.5411 or email [email protected] for more information.

Teambuilding
Farm Service
Stone Fence Construction

This unique and engaging experience for campers ages 13-14 is designed to recognize and enhance leadership skills. Leadership begins through service to others, and a key component of Teen Service Leadership is the integration of service projects and facilitated teambuilding initiatives.

Alongside trained Shaker Village staff, campers will learn techniques for organic gardening, dry stone fence construction and the management of rare ecosystems, while completing projects that will fill them with a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Campers will also take part in daily teambuilding activities to guide their development both as leaders and as members of a team. Each day will have plenty of time for additional fun, with archery, riverboat rides, crafts and other adventures built into the schedule.

Pricing: $250 per camper
Register before April 1: $225 per camper

Registration fee includes full-day programming throughout the week, two healthy snacks per day (one AM, one PM: granola bar, cheese stick, piece of fruit, etc.), one Shaker Village t-shirt, and free annual family membership ($135 value - begins after camp attendance). Campers must bring their own non-perishable sack lunch.

Registration also includes one 20% off dining voucher per registrant and is valid through the end of 2022. Dining reservations recommended to assure availability: call 859.734.5411.

Meet-and-Greet Deacon

Starts February 5, 2022 then every Saturday until February 26, 2022
Time: 1:00 pm  to  3:00 pm

Meet-and-Greet Deacon

Saturday, February 5, 12, 19 & 26, 2022 | 1 – 3:00 p.m.
2.5 1

Our resident farm dog, Deacon, is turning three (weighing in at 194 lbs.) and we want to celebrate him all month long!

Every Saturday in February Deacon will be waiting at the Farm Barn with Farm Manager and #1 Dog Dad Mike Moore for special meet-and-greets the entire family can enjoy. Come out for lunch at The Trustees' Table where you can enjoy Deacon's birthday dessert, a peanut butter cheesecake with candied peanuts and a graham cracker "dog bone." Then head over to give Deacon a pat on the head, meet some of his farm friends and go on a Deacon-themed scavenger hunt throughout the Village.

Deacon’s Farm Friends Fundraiser 

In lieu of chew toys and treats Deacon is wishing for donations to help care for his farm animal friends. What can your donation do? A lot! Your gift will help purchase feed, cover veterinary care expenses and more for the 130 farm animals who call Shaker Village home.

As a non-profit organization, your generosity makes an impact. Thank you for your support.
