Big Hill Farm Student Worker
A brief description of the student educators program (2nd program):
Big Hill Farm Student Workers manage a student-run farm named Big Hill Farm. This farm teaches our student body the values of local food production and sustainable agricultural practices. These values are taught through on-site educational experiences and weekly volunteering hours. Each season, student leaders hire new student interns to plant, grow, and harvest food, experiment with new techniques and oversee the management of the farm. Upon harvest, students bring food from Big Hill Farm to the cafeteria for use in the salad bar. Ultimately, Big Hill Farm serves as one step to integrate the student body into the process of sustainable food production.
