The Green Power program is a local food immersion program designed to give participants hands-on experiences with all aspects of local food production. These experiences include: planting, weeding and harvesting on our organic farm, working with farm animals, community service with local food aid organizations, educating the public about what we’re doing and cooking a community meal. In addition to being a great learning opportunity, Green Power teaches the value of meaningful work by offering participants a share of the produce and by gaining community service hours. This year Green Power will have their own farm fields to grow in, and students will get to help decide what to plant and what to do with the harvest!
Mark your calendar! The Farm Stand Season Opning Celebration is on Saturday, June 7th from 10am-1pm
