Farm School Reflections

Each week, we are featuring some of our 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 Wayne reminds us that BFS is a place where we all can find friendship and community. Thank you, Wayne, for this insight and for all you do!
