Sprout Creek Farm, an educational ministry of the Society of the Sacred Heart, U.S. Province, was awarded the 2004 Business Excellence Award in the agriculture business category by the Duchess County Economic Development Corp. The farm is in LaGrange, New York, near Poughkeepsie.

Cornell Cooperative Extension's Shannon Kishell described the farm as “an amazing resource where students can learn about the working of a farm, taking care of animals and even what it is like to have a business.”

Animals at the farm include thirty-two cows, thirty-six goats, forty sheep, six pigs and 120 chickens. The farm produces award-winning cheeses at its creamery, which it sells at the farm, at farmers' markets and at stores.

Three RSCJ, Sisters Margo Morris, Georgie Blaeser and Jean Ford live at the farm and, with a staff of fourteen full-time employees, oversee summer educational programs for the Network of Sacred Heart Schools and year-round programs for schools and community organizations in the area.

Sister Morris, the farm's executive director, conceived of the farm while teaching at Convent of the Sacred Heart in Greenwich, Connecticut, as a way of promoting and teaching basic values and providing young people with a more holistic world view than that provided by a materialistic culture.
