Are you a high school student interested in making an impact in your local community?           

• A student-driven program introducing students to the important  mission of our Farm-to-Food Pantry (FtFP) program and the strategies of problem-solving and innovation.    

•    As the learning and research continue, the group will identify a need.  The need may be related to distribution, community feedback, growing obstacles, water & compost management, or more!      

•  They will then design a comprehensive plan to meet that need, both short-and long-term. 

• Research & implementation may involve speaking to community members; meeting with biological & environmental experts; creating models and designs;  data collection, and more!       

At the end of the program, students will have created a portfolio of their work to  share with their schools, colleges, and the public!  

We have two (2) unique programs that allow teens to fulfill their required community service.  

Our Farm-to-Food-Pantry program enlists teen volunteers to grow and harvest healthy food for 3 local food pantries.  

Our Conservation Stewardship program gives teens hands-on experience with restoring the privately-owned conservation land surrounding the farm to preserve native plants and the wildlife that rely upon them.
