Barrington Garden Club visits the Farm School

Barrington Garden Club at BFS

BFS was delighted to host the Barrington Garden Club for a visit this week. Visitors saw the farm and got to experience the beautiful rows and freshly stocked farm stand of this harvest season. Many thanks to Deb, a member of Barrington Garden Club and a wonderful volunteer at BFS, for organizing this event. It's such a joy to share the work that BFS does with like-minded members of the community.
