Spring Workshops
We need your help now. With donations and pledges of financial support from many generous Winchester residents, the Wright-Locke Farm was able to submit a successful $8.6 Million bid to purchase 12.5 acres of additional land around the Farm. If you were able to join in this effort, thank you.
Our next step in realizing the potential of this land to increase experience-based learning at the Farm is our plan to construct a year-round Education Center on the site of the yellow house at 82 Ridge Street. The Center is envisioned as a dynamic community resource with an Innovation Kitchen, space for classrooms, lectures and other activities centered around sustainable farming and healthy communities. We have launched a $4.8 Million Capital Campaign and have raised $1.5 Million to date. We hope that you can join us in this important effort to make this tremendous opportunity a reality.
Please contact Archie McIntyre at amcintyre@wlfarm.org for more information or to discuss a pledge of support for this effort. Thank you.
