Growing, Teaching, Nourishing: Our 2025 Annual Campaign Gives Right Back.

Every dollar that we receive funds all that we do at Barrington Farm School, and that includes making local donations! Did you know that BFS makes weekly donations of all that we grow to local food banks? We donate at least 30-40% of what we grow at BFS! Those food banks include (but are not limited to) TapIn (Barrington), Good Neighbor (Riverside), and Better Lives (Providence). Every one of your purchases and donations helps to support BFS to give back to our neighbors.

Please consider BFS in this season of giving! Your donations support our 2025 Annual Campaign which go to support all we do at the farm, including donating 30-40% of all that we grow and harvest. Please visit this link to donate and share with your friends. Thank you!

MISSION

To grow food, inspire learning, build community, and foster connection to the land, with the support of dedicated volunteers. We invite and welcome you to visit, participate in, and enjoy this historic farm. 

Community support continues to be imperative to our farm for growing, supplies, farm stand, structures, and cultivating the woodland habitat while educating students and community members of all ages. The open space has beekeeping, fresh food tastings, student environmental groups, teachers, artists, nature studies, and conservation practices. Join us as a volunteer, benefactor, customer, or friend! See you at the farm!
