It’s been a busy semester at the Yale Farm! As we’ve carefully ventured back into in-person programming, it’s been a joy to see students connecting with plants, land, and each other on the Farm again.

We’re so grateful for our amazing team of student staff and everyone who turned out for our workdays and events this fall.

He declared, "it is time we rip the credit card and start eating wild food." Gabrielle Barnes sang and played the guitar.
