Farm to Fork Class
Northeast Harvest sponsors a Farm to Fork class during the Topsfield Fair for local student in Essex and Middlesex counties. The class discussion is about where their food comes from. Our goal is to teach students that all food comes from plants or animals, that food has to be farmed, caught or grown at home and that food how food changes from farm to fork. Students test their knowledge of dinner table classics with the Farm to Fork Challenge activity. This class is concluded by thanking our local farmers by having the student make a card that we distribute to our farmers in Essex and Middlesex counties!

Student Ag Day
Student Ag Day is a program that is put together by Northeast Harvest to educate students in Essex and Middlesex counties, about the importance of Massachusetts Agriculture. The program is put on in the Spring and is open to schools located in Essex and Middlesex counties. During Student Ag Day, students will have the opportunity to participate in eight hands-on activities, supervised by leaders from agricultural industry professions. A farm-to-table lunch will also be served to each child, free of charge. The mission of Northeast Harvest is to help consumers discover, enjoy and support the farmers and local agriculture. Through our Student Ag Day, Northeast Harvest hopes to fulfill this mission with our youth, while also providing teachers with a standards-based opportunity to educate their students on the importance of this industry.
