Education

Educating all ages of consumers to promote the importance and diversity of the local farming community

 

Annual Feast on this Film Festival

Join us each September for a unique film festival that features movies about a diversity of issues or viewpoints related to food and agriculture. We hope that these films will spark conversation among the community about what we value about the farms in our region. Don't forget to join us for the grand finale -- a Localvore potluck and film hosted at Stonewall Farm. To learn more, check out our flyer from last year's Feast on This Film Festival or click on the photo at left to learn more about what we're planning for this year.

 

Farm Appreciation Night

Farm Appreciation Night is an chance to sit back, relax, and celebrate food and farming in the Monadnock region. Come join us for a night of food, drink, entertainment, dancing, and more in celebration of farmers, farm land, and anyone who plays a role in making our local food system vibrant.

 

Monadnock Farm Education Toolkit

The Farm Education Toolkit is a resource for both educators and farmers who wish to increase the community’s connection to agriculture through education. The toolkit contains local case studies and highlights resources that can be used to start or enhance your organization’s involvement with farm and agriculture education.
