Phillies Bridge Farm Project’s education mission is all encompassing. We have something for everyone, and it is our hope that participants will learn new skills and grow to love the land we call home here at the farm.
The farm serves as an outdoor classroom where learning comes alive for both children and adults through experiential learning. Click any of the links below to learn more and feel free to reach out to us with any questions at education@philliesbridge.org.
