Our goal is happy, healthy students learning substantive life skills on the farm and in the garden, understanding their food sources and uplifting the community. Hands on engagement in FaBEL programs provides students with authentic education, improves eating habits, enhances social and emotional engagement, and promotes connection to the environment.
Many of our programs are run in our Educational Greenhouse learning center.
The Educational Greenhouse is a shared use space and provide collaborations with area organizations and educational institutions to teach plant science, nature connection, greenhouse management, and four-season production techniques.
