Our 10, 11, and 12 year-old
students can look forward to experiencing an extended stay at The
Farm School, a working farm program in Athol, Massachusetts. The
Farm School states:
“While here the students find value in real work, create
community that persists when they return to their classrooms,
and experience first hand what it means to be a steward of the
earth.”
Each spring, a class of students heads out for three days and
two nights of farm life. Milking cows, feeding chickens, tending
crops, and cooking meals with the food they’ve harvested, our
students learn as much about their own capabilities and the
importance of teamwork as they do about farm work and food
production.
