Taproot Farm & Environmental Education Center

Agricultural and ecological based education programs focusing on food systems and the environment to get children outside. Our education model engages children in outdoor learning by encouraging discovery, inspiring curiosity, and nurturing relationships. Programs include nature-based summer camp, farm and forest friday, nature and garden programs, and homeschool series.

The food access program strives to increase equitable access to fresh, nourishing, local food that is grown with healthy agricultural practices. Income level, demographic, or geographic location should never be a barrier to actively participating in the local and regional food system. Programs include gleaning, plant-a-row, lancaster community garden, snap incentive programs, and farm share community supported agriculture.
