Visit and Learn

Our Young Cooks & Farmers program invites children ages 6-12 to explore sustainable farming practices and seasonal cooking. Young participants will work alongside farmers and culinary educators to grow, harvest, and cook fresh produce, all while learning about the importance of regenerative agriculture.

For younger children, Storytime on the Farm offers a delightful experience for kids ages 3-7 and their caregivers. Gather under the apple tree for a charming story, a fun nature activity, and a farm-fresh snack. Storytime will be held on Wednesdays starting July 2, from 10AM - 11AM.

Join us to walk in the Sunflower field and learn about this unique, self-pollinating native flower. Then, gather in the Stone Acres formal garden for a talk and tasting with sake specialist and sommelier Janine Sacco. A selection of fine sake will be provided by Skurnik Wines & Spirits. Enjoy award-winning cheeses handmade by local cheese makers and canapes made with farm-fresh ingredients. Take home a seasonal simple syrup and a sunflower bouquet.

Hosts: Heather & John Profetto at East Haven High. Join us this summer for day-long culinary field trips that explore the diversity of Connecticut’s local food system.
