A Newton Community Farm summer program for Middle School Students
(Going into grades 6 through 9)

Spend a week outdoors with your peers and the staff from Newton Community Farm, learning to plant, maintain, and harvest a farm garden. Discover how food is produced, and enjoy camaraderie with your fellow gardeners, farm staff and volunteers. Work at the farm, maintain garden plots at Nahanton Park, and grow food for the Newton Food Pantry.

Students may sign up for one or more weekly sessions. Each session will include gardening (what it takes to be a farmer), community lunches (bring your own, and share a dish made from fresh farm produce), and a different discussion theme related to social justice and/or sustainable agriculture. Learn a lot, work hard and have fun!
