Join the Barrington Farm School on Tuesday, April 25 at 1 pm for an informative presentation on regenerative agriculture and how to get your community involved.

This presentation will showcase how the Barrington Farm School nurtures and creates a healthy landscape for growing chemical-free vegetables and flowers through regenerative farming practices.  The farm, right here in Barrington, also encourages a biodiverse habitat for pollinators to thrive, a program for community drop-off of food waste that's turned into compost, supports beehives for local honey and hosts field trips for local schools.  Community involvement for growing food and caring for this environment is essential as the farm school demonstrates the harmony between regenerative farming and the volunteers who make it all happen.  Free spring seeds for attendees!

The URI Master Gardeners will also be on-site with an information kiosk before and after the talk to answer any gardening questions you have.

Free and open to all. Registration is required with in-person and Zoom (online) options available!

Before the presentation, seniors 60-years-of-age and older are invited to go down to the Peck Center for lunch at 11:45 am. Lunch can be enjoyed for a suggested donation of $3. Please call 401-247-1926 x201 to reserve your seat for lunch at least 24 hours before.
