Growing, Teaching, Nourishing: Your Donation 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 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.
