The Farm School

Grade VI ​​visiting The Farm School in Athol, MA — a special place founded by Shady Hill TTC ‘88 alum Ben Holmes! Students divided into groups to tackle the many chores that keep a farm running: moving goats to their winter home, building fences, chopping wood for the winter, feeding chickens, harvesting and washing vegetables, and preparing meals. They experienced firsthand how much teamwork it takes to keep a farm going — and how rewarding a hard day’s work can be! View more photos.
