Created in partnership with the farm manager of local CSA and with the support of several social services agencies, the Kids Connect! program provides disadvantaged youth ages 8 to 13—most with behavioral or mental health issues—a chance to get outside onto a conserved farm two times per week for six weeks, late afternoons.

The free program promotes self-esteem, teamwork, play and healthy living by connecting children to the joys of growing, and eating, local food.
