Sunnyfield Farm School Program
Sunnyfield Farm along with the Farm School program gives students extraordinary opportunities for academic and vocational learning on a working farm, where meaningful chores and responsibilities produce real results. Activities are aligned with IEPs and person-centered plans. A sample of farming tasks includes sorting, weighing, and selling produce at the farmer's market and caring for chickens, sheep, and other farm animals. Farm School students participate in the full cycle of life, from growing and planting seeds to raising, harvesting, cooking, and selling the vegetables. Winter and early spring bring opportunities to harvest balsam, collect sap from sugar maple trees, and prepare sheep's wool for spinning into yarn. Working with farm animals - helping care for chickens and cows, for example, or bottle-feeding lambs - helps students learn to treat animals with dignity and respect. By working together to accomplish goals, students also find their place in a wider community. The self-esteem, resilience, and skills developed at Sunnyfield continue to serve them well throughout their lives. Approximately 39 clients participated in the Sunnyfield programs or were enrolled in the Farm School classes in the last year. Another program developed in conjunction with Sunnyfield Farm, the Farm School program and the Occupational Therapy department at Crotched Mountain is the equine collaborative program which serves approximately 35 clients in each 6-week session.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2015 – Jun 30, 2016Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$291.8K
