Introducing our newest Field School program: the GHF Young Farmer’s Club, a hands-on, eight-week farming adventure just for kids! Young farmers will prepare their own special plot at Gibbet Hill Farm, plant seeds, care for their crops, and harvest the vegetables they grew from start to finish. A perfect way to dig in, get your hands dirty, and learn where food comes from!
This program is designed for children ages 10yo-13yo*.
The program runs June 24-August 12 on Tuesdays at 9am, culminating in a farm-to-fork lunch on August 12 for each student plus one guest, featuring some of the fresh ingredients they nurtured.
Each student will receive a Gibbet Hill Farm Field School tote and a Young Farmer’s Club t-shirt.
Cost for this workshop program is $200.00
Enrollment is very limited, to maintain the highest quality experience for each student.
Classes will run for approximately 60-90 minutes.
At the conclusion of each class, students will harvest produce to bring home.
Students should wear farm-appropriate clothing and shoes. Work/garden gloves are also encouraged if students prefer to work in the dirt with them. Hats or caps are recommended.
*All students are required to be accompanied by an adult.
