Ensure the continuation of a neighborhood farm,curriculum-based education for all, and the donation of thousands of pounds of fresh food each year by making a donation on #GivingTuesday. In eight seasons, the farm has donated over 50,000 pounds of fresh food to those in need.

VOLUNTEER THANK YOU LUNCH
One of the main reasons the farm has accomplished so much in its short history is due to the generosity of our volunteers. We wouldn’t be able to achieve all that we do without you! Please join us for a Volunteer Appreciation Party on Saturday, December 9th from 12:30-2:30. Please meet us at Beecher Road School-South (40 Beecher Rd, Woodbridge, CT) in the (South) Assembly Room. This is also a great time to stop by and chat if you have program suggestions for the coming year or are interested in getting involved at the farm. There will be food and some very grateful farm staff to greet you. If you like, you are also welcome to bring a potluck dish to share and celebrate the fall harvest. Please RSVP by November 6th to Becca at [email protected].
