Supported by New Entry Sustainable Farming Project and Tufts University, this initiative will run from May 2024 through June 2025, focusing on food education and sustainability. The program aims to engage students with farm-based learning while equipping teachers with valuable tools to integrate agriculture into the curriculum, fostering a deeper connection to food and the environment.
