LEAF Farm
All LEAF youth from past and present are invited to the LEAF Farm to reunite with their crew members and enjoy fall on the farm!

 

Thanks, @dickinsoncollege for a wonderful evening! Our evening started with a tour highlighting some of the sustainability initiatives on campus and ended with a thought provoking call to action and optimism by Brett Jenks from Rare.
A snapshot from yesterday’s event at a local preschool! LEAF interns Anaya and Dailah made “root candy” and applesauce with some preschoolers, while learning about apples and playing some awesome games! LEAF has supplied two preschools with produce all season. #youngleaders #foodeducation #farmtopreschool
The broccolis are coming at ya this week! Happy October!
A rosy, foggy morning here as we move into the last five weeks of our growing season. We're always marking time with this view, watching the fields come alive with new plantings in the spring and then get tucked in with a bed of cover crop.
I mean, wowza- feeling the seasons over here. (And I really need some help thinking of a solid pepper pun to put in this caption . . .)
Peeping some amazing wildlife on the farm #turtledab #ecologicalfarming #sustainableagriculture
Sometimes, farming is beautiful and striking... other times, it is mosquito-ridden, covered in hairnets, and incredibly goofy. Regardless, we are happy to be working with our fall crew! #youngfarmers #youngleaders #mosquitopocalypse
Two of our youth leaders had the chance to participate in a round table with Senator Casey and his staffers. Also at the table were so many talented farmers voicing their perspectives on the farm bill, support for new and beginning farmers, healthcare, etc. Thank you to Village Acres and Hannah for inviting future leaders to the table!!
