We are an organization of multiple interweaving programs spread out over almost 400 acres of land in rural Mass, linked together under our common purpose and stewardship. In order to best achieve its mission, racial equity and liberation has become a central goal for the organization. Our Program for Visiting Schools provides multi-day, residential, school-year and summer farm programs for over 1,500 young people and their teachers each year. Our typical program is a two and a half day field trip for middle schoolers, in which we task the students with running all the aspects of the farm: cooking the meals, and working in the garden, forest and barn with the animals. Children are given the opportunity to experience their own capacity to contribute to the farm. Our Chicken Coop Middle School is an onsite, full-time, one-room home school cooperative for local kids. Students attend classes with our teachers on the farm everyday. Farm life, art and music classes run alongside math, literature, social studies and science. Our suite of New Programs look to build even deeper connections to the land for the students we serve, for the communities they come from and by and for the Nipmuc People, who are among the original people of the land upon which the farm rests.
