New Gate Gets a Sister Farm
Posted Tuesday June 29 2010
We are thrilled to announce a new program at New Gate that starts this fall. We have formed a partnership with Gamble Creek Farm, a nonprofit training farm in Parrish, to become our sister farm. Just imagine a day during the week when you pick up your child, that you will also pick up a box of locally-grown, organic produce, accompanied by recipes to make cooking and experimenting with new produce, something the whole family can enjoy.
Naturally, in keeping with Maria Montessori's working farm approach, our students will learn hands-on about farming through field trips to Gamble Creek, as well as working in New Gate's on-campus community garden that will begin to take shape this fall.
I encourage you to read the attached press release, visit www.gamblecreekfarm.org and sign up for your share of produce under the JOIN tab. You will also find samples of produce that is harvested, recipes, and past newsletters under the MEMBERS tab.
Thank you for helping to support our new partnership!
