History and Now Brickyard Educational Farm is in its second season conductingfarm-based educationalprogramming outside andinclassrooms. In its first year, Brickyard Educational Farm residedon Montgomery County school board propertyon a 20-acre farm inPotomac, Maryland. To learn more about the agricultural heritage of this organicseed saving farmgo to www.SaveThisSoil.org.We hope to return to this fertile organic soil by collaborating with our local school board to utilize vacant school board lands until the best permanent use for the land is determined. In the mean time we have moved to an adjacentpeice of private propertywhere we have started a smalleducational garden in order to continue ourfarm based educational programming. While our programming capacitywill be limited in this new location in comparison to last summer, we are making carrot cake out of carrots.We are excited stillto be able to remain a resource tolocal educational institutions, summer camps, civic organizations, individual community members, environmental groupsinterested in food and farming. We offer educational garden programs for k-5 as well as the high school level including lessons about soil science, the water cycle, composting, planting, harvesting, and organic gardening. We are committed to connecting students and teaching them about local and sustainable food and agriculture.
