Friends Of Holly Hill Farm Inc

Educational programs - the educational programs division provides students and their teachers with hands on lessons related to organic farming and its value to health and the health of the environment. The agency provides farm based school programs to help teachers develop a "farm based" curriculum to integrate into their lesson plans. Programs are tailored for individual students' goals and include customized classroom lesson plans anchored with farm visits for hands on learning. In addition, the agency offers school field trips to the farm to meet students' unique learning objectives and cover subjects such as life cycle of plans or insects, soil biology and chemistry, botany, water cycle, farming history, role of animals in farming, environmental science, and nutrition.

Youth groups - the youth groups division provides hands on lessons to youth related to organic farming and its value to health and the health of the environment through summer camp and after school programs. Through farming, exploration, and outdoor adventures, the agency seeks to connect children to the natural world in a way that will stick with them for life. Youth in the program hike through salt marshes and historic growing fields to study vernal pools in the woods, eat nourishing meals with herbs and vegetables from the very gardens that they've been tending, and cultivate a food to pantry vegetable garden that helps feed hungry south shore families at food pantries in cohasset, hull and quincy.
