Education

We are dedicated to providing the community with an authentic farm experience and an opportunity to learn sustainable growing methods.  As a fully operating and working farm, we have an ideal setting for hands-on, interactive learning.  In our fields, we can model and teach the entire growing cycle, from pre-seed to post-harvest.   We offer educational programs for every age and skill level.

Classes and Workshops: In our classes and workshops, children and adults get hands-on training in sustainable growing and food processing, learning skills that they can apply at home.

Summer Programming: At our summer classes, elementary and middle school students join us for one or two weeks of food, farming, and fun beginning late June through July and August.

Farm Sprouts: Through Farm Sprouts, we offer a family farm experience with story time and activities for young children every Tuesday beginning late June through July and August.

Learning Garden: We reserve a section of the farm for hands-on workshops.  In the Learning Garden, students can try out newly learned skills with the support of workshop facilitators.

School Outreach: We bring the farm to the schools, giving lectures and supporting projects in area public and private schools.  We also host small group visits on-site.
