Founded by actress Carmen Matthews, New Pond Farm includes 102 acres with a variety of ecosystems that serve as outdoor classrooms. The farm provides educational opportunities through classes for children, family programs, school field trips, and lectures for adults. New Pond also encourages the study of beekeeping through its Adopt a Hive program.

Led by beekeeper Ann Murray, New Pond's Adopt a Hive program offers a hands-on experience caring for a honeybee colony. Participants borrow beekeeping suits and other equipment in order to view the beehive up close and watch the progression of the superorganism from April through October. The program includes experiences from observing honey production to learning about the roles of different types of bees, such as workers and drones.
