We equip young farmers with the knowledge and hands-on experience they need to grow better-tasting, healthier food and become responsible stewards of the land. Programs seek to remove the barriers that stand in the way of their success including access to land, prohibitive capital costs, and marketing and distribution challenges. Core elements of the program include apprenticeships, technical trainings, a national Young Farmers Conference (held annually in December), and an online community and hub for beginning farmers.

Education programs at Stone Barns include a school-year food studies curriculum and cooking lab for high school students delivered in partnership with teachers from around the country, as well as summer programming for high school students and teachers. Our in-depth curriculum explores environment, health and social justice topics through the lens of food and cooking.
