Community Service Programs for Teens

Feeding local families.

Register for SUMMER 2022 now! 

FALL 2022 registration coming soon! 

Everyone deserves fresh, healthy food, yet food pantries are routinely stocked with unhealthy options.  The F2FP program at Holly Hill Farm aims to change that via teen volunteers who plant, grow and deliver organic vegetables and herbs to local food pantries. Last year, we donated over 2,000 pounds of produce to these pantries!

The program enables students to fulfill  school-mandated community service hours with hands-on work on the farm.  Volunteers participate in every aspect of the project, from seed to harvest.

High school students participate during the growing season, starting with building beds and planting seeds in the Spring straight through to harvesting and putting the gardens to bed in Fall. They tend gardens at  the farm and at community 'food pantry gardens.'   

Activities include planting, composting, cultivating, harvesting, cleaning and prepping vegetables, and finally, delivering the organic produce to three grateful food pantries. 

Volunteers participate one to two times weekly in the Spring and Fall, and then intern for a one-week session  in the Summer.

Fee schedule: To help offset the costs of this program, we ask for a donation, with the amount set at the family's discretion. We suggest a donation from $50 to $250 per student participating.

Caring for conservation land.

Register for SUMMER 2022 now! 

FALL 2022 registration coming soon! 

Friends of Holly Hill Farm and Holly Hill Farm is located on privately-owned, stunning conservation land.  This land is not owned by the farm, but has been placed into a conservation trust by the White family.  It features diverse habitat for migrating songbirds, hawks and owls, grey and red foxes, fisher cats, and other wildlife.  

This land is also home to one of the South Shore's best remaining stands of spring ephemeral wildflowers and other native plants that are disappearing elsewhere in our region. Teens involved in this program help to remove invasive plants that threaten our land and the wildlife that depend upon it, and to aid in the reintroduction of native plants.    

They work in a completely hands-on way to help increase biodiversity in this important refuge. It's hard work, but extremely important and  fulfilling especially given the pace of development in our region in recent years.    Projects include helping to clear invasive species from the land, planting native plants and using citizen science apps  to help protect wildlife, birds and insects. 

Fee schedule: To help offset the costs of this program, we ask for a donation, with the amount set at the family's discretion.
We suggest a donation from $50 to $250 per student participating.
