At Fairgate, we know that knowledge is power. As we work toward a vision of food security for all we understand how important food education is. When people learn about where the food they eat comes from, they can be more informed when making food choices, and even be empowered to grow their own! The Farm provides a chance for neighbors to engage through hands-on educational experiences and offers a space to connect with and learn from others.
We host groups of all ages and backgrounds for farm tours, which highlight the varieties of food we grow using regenerative practices. For youth and adults alike, the delight of learning how your food grows leaves a positive impact that helps inform food decisions throughout a person’s life.
Our educational initiatives extend out to the community through free classes focused on food, health & wellness, environmentalism, and related topics. This includes gardening workshops, live plant-based cooking demonstrations, and farm yoga sessions under a beautiful, shaded pergola where our outdoor classroom resides.
Our partnerships with schools and other local organizations helps bring over 500 people to visit the farm each year. We welcome you to join us in our outdoor classroom this season!
