Notes about Item for Sale or Trade

We are looking to bring together people interested to begin a small-sized nature, farm and reading-writing-arithmetic school for kids ages 7-14. This school would also host community events. Food grown would be for meals for the kids and staff on campus, with staff and kids able to grow any additional food for their own famiiy’s sustenance as well as for donation to the local community
 
Academic educators who are compatible with the idea that teaching and learning is always a two-way process, and where kids are also encouraged to work in groups and on their own as well as farmers who are comfortable being around kids, are needed. 
 
Proposed is a permaculture farm-style for the growth of vegetables, fruit trees and chickens for egg-gathering purposes only.
