Farm School Reflections

Each week, we feature wonderful 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 of our website. This week, board member and beekeeper Dane speaks a little bit more about the "School" part of Barrington Farm School. Thank you, Dane, for your insight.
