About Sarver Children’s Farm
Sarver Children’s Farm is named as such in recognition and thanks of Charlie and Margy Sarver. Charlie and his wife Margy have been instrumental in the development and success of Lockwood Park through their generous donation of time, talent, and the use of their land and resources to benefit Lockwood Park. Unfortunately, Margy passed away unexpectedly in November 2021.
