We fully value the opportunity to offer Morning Star Farm as a place of constant discovery and nourishment

We offer field trips, workshops and farm tours for students of all ages. This has been a popular destination for students near and far and school groups whether in pursuit of a precious pumpkin, the discovery in the building of a portable worm bin, the creation of farm crafts or herbal salve or a delicious fresh meal, assistance with daily planting and harvesting, seasonal pruning or longer term internships to experience and learn a season farming skills. Here at Morning Star we are happy to actively participate in the farm to cafeteria program by providing produce and hosting field trips for teachers and students.
