We strive to make educational programming accessible to all ages. Tiered pricing allows families to choose the price that works best for their family, while also becoming more aware of the costs associated with putting on educational programs for each child. This program is voluntary and families choose the tier that best suits their financial situation.
If your family is able to choose a higher tier, it allows more children to access programming. Your support allows Friends of Holly Hill Farm to better utilize the charitable contributions we need to operate our non-profit organization and continue with our mission of growing food for our community, educating all ages, and caring for this precious land.
