Kids Dig Farms! After School Program

We don’t know if kids are allowed to have this much fun, but we’re doing it anyways! The after-school program has started off the Fall learning about plant parts, compost, and planting fall crops. Each week brings a new craft and new adventure for the kids. If you would like your young one to join, there are still spots left for you to join the group!
Transportation available from Beecher Road School

Vice President of the Board Honored

Louisa, pictured far right.e are fortunate to have many amazing people on our Board of Directors here at Massaro. One of these amazing people is our Vice President, Louisa Cunningham, who was recently honored by Woodbridge Human Services to be a “Living Treasure.”
Formerly a deputy director of the Yale Art Gallery, she now spends so much of her energy on the outdoors. Besides working with Massaro, she has also served on town committees, organizations such as Everyone Outside, the New Haven Bird Club, Connecticut Forest and Park Association, the Audubon Society, and the Butterfly Association.
At Massaro, she has been an intergral part of our Education Committee and has done much to help us find ways to students to engage with the outdoors. Without Louisa, and her partnership with the Girl Scouts, we would also not have our Nature Trail, which is a part of the farm she is always improving and advocating for.
Thank you Louisa for all you have done for our community and our Farm. We agree that you are truly a “Living Treasure.”
