Spring Break at the Farm is a week of growing curiosity, community, and connecting with nature. 🌱
5 middle school youth participate in outdoor environmental education rooted in land, food, and community care. Together, students transplanted seedlings, explored medicinal plants, cooked together, and spent meaningful time outdoors away from traditional classroom settings.
One of the most powerful moments firsthand was watching youth arrive each morning excited to be at the farm, immediately dropping their backpacks to join the group and feeling genuinely welcomed by staff and peers.
Over the days, students shifted from unfamiliar ground into a place of belonging, where they felt safe enough to explore, ask questions, and be seen.
This is a direct reflect of what the North Richmond Farm is. Where youth have ongoing access to land-based education that fosters healing, belonging, and leadership.
It points to a community where outdoor learning is not an exception, but a norm rooted in care and cultural connection. We continue this work through seasonal programming at North Richmond Farm, including upcoming Afterschool at the farm and school field trips.
