Kindergarten School Program: Pumpkins for Kids
Nick and Bambi Venetucci opened their hearts and their farm to school children coming to the farm to pick out a pumpkin. We now hear from multiple generations of families coming to the farm about their experiences growing up while Mr. Venetucci was out here greeting students as they arrived. The pumpkin program continues with Kindergarten classrooms through a partnership with Catamount Institute. Buses of kids still come to the farm to learn about farming and pick out a pumpkin. And the one rule from Mr. Venetucci, you had to carry it back to the bus yourself!
If you are a Kindergarten teacher, you may reach out to Catamount Institute directly to see if they have any openings in their school-based program with field trips to the farm.
