WPS Education Farm

WPS Education Farm A community facing learning lab, integrating curriculum delivery into market farm food production.

The Mission of the Waynesboro Education Farm is to be a community facing learning lab engaging the development of the whole child and their families. We do this through integrating curriculum delivery into farm to table food production. We believe this experience creates core memories for students that operationalize standards of learning in a way that ensures later recall. While our product or yi

eld on the farm is student achievement, we also produce a large amount of organic food for delivery to school cafeterias and various community pantries.

Corn is a new crop to the education farm this year. We added it for several reasons - including how many Virginia standards link to the crop. But mostly it’s about the tortillas. This variety is called bloody butcher and is a field corn that can grow up to fifteen feet! Mr.B is 6’ 4’’ for scale.! This year we will be drying the corn and grinding into a corn flour that we can use all year round to make tortillas for our famous farm fish tacos!

Flowers. It’s amazing what flowers do for the farm. From attracting pollinators to confusing pests and of course just plain being pretty. We are reaching a point in the farms ecosystem where we barely need to plant them anymore. They just throw seed and we let them grow wherever they pop up! This bouquet is getting ready for the front office . Our planting patterns are all about interconnected polycultures around here. In other words diversity is key at !

It’s mid August - school is back and the tomatoes are pumping. Meanwhile we are already looking forward to sept 2 - our next volunteer night. We are dubbing this evening our tomatopalooza. Chef aaron of Aaron Gardner will be on farm cooking up tomato centric dishes while all who attend will get to taste test all of the varieties we grew this year. Join us that night from 5-7 pm. Dinner is at 6. To count down the event I’m going to highlight a few of our favorites from this season. Check these out! This variety is a cherry tomato that goes by the name Mochi. Is quickly become one of our favorites due to its thick skin and eating experience. Eating one of these is like eating a tomato flavored gummy bear!

We love our relationship with river city breadbasket! The folks at RCBB have cultivated a shopping experience based on client dignity and food justice. From a farming perspective - the food is presented beautifully and kept fresh for the client. From a programming perspective - having them as a major distribution point of our food, grounds the students experience in a radically place based context where Waynesboro students are literally feeding their neighbors. Thank You AJ,Adrienne and team!

The school year has officially started, but the farm is acting like it’s still summer. Pop quiz time, how many pounds of food is in this picture? The best part is that we are still picking.

we’ve been quiet but we haven’t stopped growing! If you,re new here or if it’s been a while, welcome back to Waynesboro Education Farm! Our farm has been full of hands on learning, student leadership, and fresh organic produce. With the beginning of the school year right on our doorstep we figured it was a good time to start bringing you back into the loop with regular updates.
