We make weekly donations to .ri but we are usually limited to the growing season between April and October. However, our hydroponic growing system now allows us to donate fresh local produce throughout the winter months too! Thanks to Deb (pictured here) who makes so many of our TapIn runs!

“A joyful wholesome morning to beckon spring” at BFS today. We did some native seed sowing and checked the pollinator garden (and collected some seeds while we were at it!).

Native seeds need a cold stratification period before germinating, so the seeds sowed today will be kept outdoors.

Felipe is researching native plants for our pollinator garden this year, while Blaise checks for seeds collected.

And our trusty volunteer, Bob, moves compost from the back of the farm up to the field rows to prep for the spring.

There’s always fun to be had in every season! What a spontaneous and productive sunny Sunday morning. Let the new growth begin!

Our hydroponics still allow us to grow in the greenhouse though, so we’ll keep harvesting greens all winter long. 😍

We love that the farm makes people feel “unencumbered” and easy going and free. That’s a big reason we all keep showing up: we can be who we are with no strings attached. The land welcomes us all. 💕 Thank you, Wayne, for your words.

Of all the multifaceted things that make BFS the wonderful place that we know, it’s the people that make BFS the magical place that it is! Will you consider giving to our mission to grow food, inspire learning, build community, and foster a connection to the land? Thank you for being such an integral part of this beautiful farm!

Composters braved the frigid temps this morning to mix frozen food scraps and keep the compost piles going! What a crew!

Our hydroponic garden is growing beautifully! Those cells of greens and herbs are so lush and delicious too. Be sure to take advantage of our online sales which can be made twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays: https://barrington-farm-school.squarespace.com. We will be taking orders next Monday too! 🥬🔔

The open space has beekeeping, fresh food tastings, student environmental groups, teachers, artists, nature studies and conservation practices.
