Education & Partnerships

We collaborate with public and private schools, homeschool co-ops, and youth organizations to offer meaningful agricultural learning experiences.

Adopt-a-Bed Program

Students collectively steward their own garden bed for the growing season—learning plant science, soil health, heritage crops, food systems, and teamwork.
