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.

• Drop-in Sessions: Our drop-in hours are free and open to the entire community.  Visitors can work with our farm staff on various aspects of day-to-day farm operations, including planting, soil and plant care, and harvesting.
• 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.
• Classes: In our classes and workshops, students get hands-on training in sustainable growing and food processing, learning skills that they can apply at home.
• Farm Sprouts: We offer a family farm experience with story time and activities for young children.
• Youth Programs: Early release day afternoons, summer camps, and service projects are just few of the ways we plan to expand our youth programs.
• 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.
