A central tenet of the Ayers Foundation's Mission is educating the next generation- and as such, the Ayers Foundation regularly hosts school learning expeditions at Hillandale Farm or affiliated farms in CT and RI. Students of all ages learn about life on a working vegetable farm and experience hands-on learning in the greenhouses, fields, and at the community gardens they support and manage. Contact us today to set up a learning expedition or series of workshops tailored to the unique needs of your organization, school, non-profit, or homeschool!

This trip connected to what we are learning in class, because we are learning about soil, farming, and plants. We worked with a farmer on a farm with soil and plants. We got hands-on experience doing what we learned about in the classroom." - Middlebridge School student
