The Farm School
About Us
ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW:
The Farm School connects people to the land by serving as a family farm for the coming generations. We are an organization of three interweaving programs spread out over the land of four old family farms in rural Mass. Careful mentoring, meaningful work, humor and kindness are at the center of all we do. For nearly 30 years our Program for Visiting Schools has hosted elementary and middle school students for two-and-a-half-day field trips to the Farm. For 16 years we have educated adults in our Learn to Farm Program – a year-long, residential practical training in diversified sustainable agriculture. And we also run an on-site middle school for 15 local kids, the Chicken Coop School.
