BFS at Barrington Farmers Market

This past Thursday, we had a wonderful time at the Barrington Farmers Market selling produce fresh from the rows and honey from Farm School bees. It was wonderful to make new friends--a warm welcome to those who just signed up for this newsletter. We're so glad you're here. Many thanks to our Lead Grower Jessalyn for the new banners. They look wonderful and highlight those beautiful bouquets of fresh flowers too. Thanks for having us, Barrington Farmer's Market! We'll see you at the August market.

Corn at the Farm Stand

Stop by the Farm Stand and pick up corn, flowers, herbs like our fresh-cut basil bunches, and some perfectly ripe tomatoes.

Farm School Reflections

Each week, we are featuring some of our amazing BFS community members speaking about what it means to be involved with the Farm School. These video features and accompanying blog posts can be found on the Farm School Reflections page on our website. This week, our Lead Grower Jessalyn speaks a little bit about how peaceful it can be to visit the Farm School. Thank you so much, Jessalyn, for your insight!
