Farm to Fork: Tapping into the Groundswell in Farm Based Education

The Groundswell Center is a new initiative of the EcoVillage Center for Sustainability Education, working with many partner organizations to provide on-farm training and education programs for beginning farmers, students, and community members. Groundswell’s primary campus is West Haven Farm, a highly successful, 260-member Community Supported Agriculture farm located at EcoVillage. West Haven produces and markets certified organic vegetables and fruits on ten acres, including year-round production using a state-of-the-art heated greenhouse and several unheated plastic “hoophouses.”  Learn for yourself how this innovative community is tackling climate change, preserving open space and biodiversity, nurturing beginning farmers, creating innovative transportation and energy systems, and helping people all over the world to reduce their ecological footprint.
