Our Story
Founded in 2017, and housed at historic Stone Acres Farm in Stonington, Connecticut, the Yellow Farmhouse Education Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching about food and farming and to fostering meaningful connections both locally and globally.
The Yellow Farmhouse Education Center accomplishes this mission by offering food education and cooking classes to kids and adults, hosting a variety of food and farm-based seminars, inviting teachers to the farm for professional development, as well as a variety of other engaging and enriching educational opportunities for a diverse audience.
By helping people understand how our food is grown and distributed, we believe we can begin to make necessary and impactful changes to help mitigate climate change, improve environmental and community health, and make more nutritious food available to more people. The Yellow Farmhouse Education Center envisions a healthy, robust, and thriving local food system accessible and affordable to all.
