The Green Power Summer Youth Program at Land's Sake farm is focused on learning about sustainable agriculture, food justice, and community through hard work. This work includes weeding, planting and harvesting on our organic farm, leading farm tours, maintaining our education garden, community service and cooking a community meal. In addition to being a great learning opportunity, Green Power teaches the value of meaningful work by giving participants the chance to earn a stipend from the work they do at the farm. Join Land's Sake and work hard while having fun!
Student Stipend & Rules: Students are offered a share of the profit generated by the sale of produce at the Land's Sake farm stand based on quality of their work through week. Land's Sake reserves the right to drop a participant from the program if he/she is not contributing in a positive manner and placing an unnecessary burden on the other students and staff.
**Please note: We can accommodate a maximum of 10 students/per week. Registration closes one week prior to the start date of each week. For late registrations please contact Douglas Cook, Education Director, at GreenPower@LandsSake.org

Our experienced educators will lead children through sensory-based activities that teach about the natural environment around them. Hands-on, inquiry-based learning transforms abstract concepts into tangible experiences for young children, enhancing cognitive development and inspiring a love of the outdoors for years to come.
