ELFS provides a hands-on learning experience for kids that promotes cooperation, compassion, wellness, and wonder while embracing sustainability through a connection with nature.
ELFS Kids run the Eco-Learning Farm Stand each week throughout the summer at the Plymouth Farmer’s Market. The kids grow produce in their own gardens to sell at the farm stand or help out at the ELFS community garden located behind the United Methodist Church on Fairgrounds Road in Plymouth, New Hampshire. Throughout the summer kids also come together to make paintings for ELFS greeting cards, colorful vases for farm stand flowers, and recycled cardboard containers for cherry tomatoes. Kids (and adults) are also encouraged to explore the Farm Stand Discovery Center and eat as many vegetables as possible!
ELFS has one garden site at the Plymouth Whole Village Family Resource Center and a larger garden at the United Methodist Church. Kids and adults work together to plant, weed and harvest vegetables for the community. ELFS donates fresh, pesticide-free produce to the Plymouth Community Closet Food Pantry, Meals for Many, the Plymouth Senior Center, the Circle Camp, the Pemi Youth Center, the Bridge House and the Plymouth Elementary School. ELFS is trying to rekindle the relationship with the land by educating and connecting this generation with our food source
