The Community Education and Engagement Committee helps with community outreach through education, communications and events. Under this committee are other working groups:
The Education Committee builds farm-based curriculum, creates on-farm educational signs, leads or administrators on- and off-farm programs, runs children activities during farm events, and works with local schools.
We are looking for individuals who are interested in educating the community about sustainable agriculture, local food and organic practices. We welcome teachers, students, parents and anyone who has a passion for teaching the community (and learning along with them) about just where our food comes from.

The Agriculture/Property Committee works with the farm staff to support farm operations and programming by proposing needed property improvements and a plan to complete them using a combination of professionals and volunteers.
