South Ripley Elementary School students are fortunate to have Capability Farm close by and be able to experience nature and science close to home. Dr. Robert and Ellen Mulford have graciously extended an invitation to South Ripley to have children come to their farm just south of Versailles to experience many aspects of nature and learn first-hand. Ellen was a school teacher at the school for many years, always giving her students the excitement of projects that brought them close to nature.
