The Center equips young farmers with the knowledge and hands-on experience 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, whether those are access to land, prohibitive capital costs, or marketing and distribution challenges. Core elements of the program include apprenticeships, technical trainings, the countrys premier Young Farmer Conference (held annually in December), and the Virtual Grange, an online community and hub for beginning farmers. 1638320 601643 Student Education Programs Training Food Citizens High School students are a critical audience for Stone Barns because engaging them directly with tasty and nutritious food is the first step in establishing a pattern of improved eating as adults and creating the next generation of thoughtful food consumers.
