Youth Education Resources
In this time of transition, we want to support families and students in learning about the environment, agriculture and food from home and with us on the farm when possible. For community resources, including food access resources, check out our page here.
Our LEAF Youth Program is returning to an in person class with safety precautions. On Thursdays and Sundays from 4:30 - 5:45 pm, join us on on the farm.
Registration form/ waiver is required the first time attending in person and capacity limits will be in place. Download the form here.
Make sure to follow us on Instagram for the latest updates!
