ReImagine Ag focuses on learning, applying, and documenting regenerative agricultural methods to the cultivation of a crop (or crops) in our Big Field. Students will co-design a planting plan that begins with organic soil preparation, incorporates functional companion plants, and chemical free crop maintenance. This year, the focus will be heirloom pumpkins, popcorn, and bush beans!

CrossPollinators is all about supporting our non-human helpers on the farm! From intentional flower integration in the field, to foraged and constructed habitat for native bees and bats around the youth garden, YAC members will learn about the critters and creatures that assist, and protect our precious crops. We’ll encourage the presence of more pollinators by building a native bee hotel ‘landscaped’ with perennials, and bat houses for the surrounding woods.

The Market Showcase is a culminating event for the 2026 cohort that features the produce they cared for, as well as an exhibit of documented plans, drawings, photos, and social media reels from their season! They will work with farm staff, and select board members to plan the logistics, marketing, and management of a Pumpkin Patch Kick-off on Saturday, October 10th.

Finally, Y2Y (Youth to Youth) Advocacy is a continuous peer to peer advocacy campaign where the messaging and delivery are directed by our Council members. This is more than making reels for social media. We’ll practice our public speaking skills, how to craft PSA’s, Calls to Action, and ways to tap into their natural interests, talents and skills to create positive change for the causes they care about.
