Nourishing the soil and the soul each day. The 120-year-old farmland located between Lincoln Avenue and Federal Road at Middle Highway is the last farm remaining in Barrington, Rhode Island.

In the pollinator garden, the students from Primrose Hill saw how the native plant of Anaphalis margaritacea (“pearly everlasting”) is a host plant for the American Painted Lady butterfly. There are dozens of their larvae on the plants with protective silk coverings- check out these photos we took!
A good lesson to see!

Did you know that having students at the farm is why BFS was created in the first place? It was the wish of Billy Vendituoli- who owned this farm before it was BFS- to have students on this land. And it started with compost which is a great place to jump in with volunteering with the Farm. Meet Jasper- our friend from the BHS Environmental Club who helps with compost! Thanks for volunteering your time, Jasper!
