Harvest Club Starts Tonight

Starting Today: Harvest Club Fridays

Spend time at the Farm School every Friday this summer helping us get the farm stand stocked and ready. Join us from 4-6 p.m. Learn about harvesting, washing, and preparing produce for sale, and enjoy a beautiful evening outside. Open to kids 6 and up. Remember your boots, hat, water, and sunscreen!

Honey Harvest from Barrington Farm School Bees

Come on out to the Farm School on Wednesday, July 13 at 6 p.m. as we harvest our first honey of the season. Join our resident Master Beekeeper Dane as he takes you through the steps of honey harvesting from the hive to the jar. We will gather at the outdoor classroom area and then finish inside the Seed House at the rear of the farm. The demonstration begins at 6 p.m. and will end by 7:30 p.m. This is a free event and open to all. Hope to see you there!

Paid Summer Farm School Student Internships

Do you know a student looking for an internship that lets them spend time in nature? Barrington Farm School's Farm Student Leadership Internship is the perfect way for environmentally-minded students to spend a summer learning about processes of regenerative farming. Interns will spend time at the Farm School and will receive in-field training about what goes into running a farm. These students will develop skills in crop management, harvesting, irrigation, weeding, composting, and team coordination.

Interns receive monthly stipends of $560 for 10 hours of farm time per week. Hours and days are flexible. No experience required.
