Farm + Forest Club Returns!
We are so excited to announce that the Kearsarge Food Hub's Farm + Forest Club is BACK, open to children ages 6-11.
Farm + Forest Club is a drop off, once a week, immersive outdoor education program held Thursdays from 10am-4pm in spring, summer and fall sessions. Students will gather together with peers and educators to grow and eat food, connect to nature, and build their environmental science knowledge and skills.
This year we are partnering with Sunset Hill Education Institute, a non-profit in South Sutton, NH empowering individuals to grow resiliency and a purposeful, nourishing life story through a barrier-free connection to community and nature. We are thrilled to share this beautiful space with you and your children as the host site of KFH's 2026 Farm + Forest Club offerings - we know that it will be a magical place to connect to nature and self for your kiddos!

Elementary Programming
Since 2015, the Kearsarge Food Hub has partnered with the Kearsarge Regional Elementary School in Bradford to provide high quality farm and garden based educational opportunities for 1st and 3rd grade classes, exploring seed starting, Abenaki food ways, the lifecycle of a plant, and more.
We strive to build lessons that connect to core competencies and provide engaging, experiential activities that foster connections to nature, food, and land. We are eager to provide these opportunities across our service region!
If you are a school in the Kearsarge Region and would like to collaborate, reach out to Garden Education Manager Xochi at xochi@kearsargefoodhub.org.
