The farm stand is open to our whole community. Compass classes come down to visit as well as other students and faculty in the building. Students are encouraged to bring come change to buy something if they like. (See prices below for some of the veggies) We invite families and other community members to visit the stand each week too! It's a great way to get healthy, local veggies each week.
