Please bring your children and join the RCDS Environmental Committee for a wonderful
morning tour at Stone Barns Center while school is closed for Faculty Professional Day.
Come learn about honeybees on the farm and their very important role in the growing
operations of the farm. We will visit the Terrace Garden, Vegetable Field, Greenhouse,
and Apiary, and meet with the Stone Barns Center Beekeeper. Although there is not an
organized lunch for our group, the Blue Hill casual Café will be open to purchase lunch
following the tour.
The mission of Stone Barns Center is to create a healthy and sustainable food system that
benefits us all. Using organic, resilient and regenerative farming practices, Stone Barns
Center grows good food in season for our community and their partner restaurant, Blue
Hill at Stone Barns. The Center is also a laboratory, hosting experiments that demonstrate
better ways to farm and eat in harmony with nature and help beginning farmers succeed.
They educate children about the sources of their food, and prepare them to steward the
land that provides it.
Please note that this “walking tour” of the Farm will take place rain or shine.
As such, participants should dress comfortably and appropriately.
