Farm-based learning rooted in our city
Our educational programs teach youth, educators, and our community where food comes from and why it matters. Whether in the field, cafeteria, or classroom, participants gain hands-on farming, gardening and cooking experiences and learn about sustainable agriculture, seed-saving, and healthy eating.
““Poughkeepsie Farm Project does amazing work in connecting school children to growing their own food.”
