Social Hour at the Farm

Every Wednesday evening we gather for farm chores and to socialize …volunteers, drinks, food, community. Meeting new people and building relationships is what we’re all about.

New Volunteers

Kelly G., founder of ‘Change for the Better’ brought a handful of volunteers to the farm this morning for Working Wednesday. And we have first time visitor Lisa F. who found the farm to be incredible!

Thanks for joining us and becoming a part of our farm.

Redwood Nursery Blueberry Bushes

We are continuously thankful and grateful for Redwood Nursery’s donations of plants, seeds, and assistance. We are lucky and honored to have Redwood as a generous neighbor

Harvest

Welcome to B’town Farm School. We look to up cycle and create as needed. Have any hidden talents? We love when neighbors and volunteers offer their expertise and help to build us up.

Late June and into July will bring onions, potatoes, carrots and more to the farm stand.

Then we await our tomatoes … we’re excited for a full assortment of veggies late summer deep into the fall.

Working Wednesdays

Our Summer intern @pb_paige teaches 3 year old in cutting flowers and ornamental grasses for bouquets during our working wednesday volunteer session.

This summer, join us for working Wednesdays, where we open the farm to volunteers of all ages and abilities to assist in a variety of farm chores and projects. We host working Wednesdays from 9:00-10:00 a.m. and 6:30-7:30 p.m. every week. Reach out to Farmer Dan to get involved, or email us!

Farm Stand

At Barrington Farm School we relish in community and are funded by grants and donations. To that end, the farm stand is always open to customers on a self serve, self pay basis. Simply choose your produce or products, then add your donation amount (we post desired pricing) and drop $$$ into the red cash box. EVERY SATURDAY WE ARE AT THE FARM STAND TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND TO MEET AND GREET WITH THE COMMUNITY (9AM-12PM)

Bees on the Farm

Courtesy of a wonderful bee grant, Dane Pursley takes participants in our bee program to check hives (queen is the one with green dot). If interested in participating with the bee program, please email Dane to learn more.

‘Little Uruguay’ Garden Bed

Ready for Seedlings

Did you know Farmer Dan is a native of Uruguay? Thanks to Tim Faulkner (co-founder of bfs) our garden beds have acquired charming names. Little Uruguay is ready for tomato seedlings (02 June). We”ll transplant indeterminate and determinate organic seed varieties here.

Educational Workshops

A series of workshops are published here for reference by students, parents, and teachers. We believe these workshops supplement elementary school education, develop an understanding of the natural world, and give kids a great activity!

If you are interested in attending, organizing, or developing workshops, contact us! We are excited to work with you.

Our three workshops with guided instructions were adapted from lesson plans found on the KidsGardening website, GrowLab: Classroom Activities for Indoor Gardens and Grow Lights, and the Edible Schoolyard website. We modified the lesson plans to fit the goals and space at Barrington Farm School.
