Berkshire Agricultural Gives $10,000 Grant To Greenagers

The grant will both support Greenagers' second year of apprenticeships ($2,800) at their farm at April Hill Conservation and Conservation Center as well as offset the cost of a pilot year of Greenagers Helping Farm Hands project ($7,200).

"We are happy to be supporting Greenagers training the next generation of farmers through their apprenticeship at April Hil. We also see a big win/win getting young adults working for Greenagers exposed to a variety of farms through the Helping Hands Program, all while giving the farmers the extra hands needed for big projects," Dan Carr, outreach and technical assistance coordinator at BAV said.

This is such a worthwhile program. Beginning April 1, 2021 Greenagers will offer a 3-person farm crew for hire to local farms. The total cost to farms is $260/day. (The total, unsubsidized cost per day is $517.26.)
This project is made possible by a grant from Berkshire Agricultural Ventures (BAV) - covering 35% of the cost - and private donors.
The crew will comprise one farmer (minimum 3 years experience) and two helpers with farm or conservation on work experience.
At least two crew members will be able to run motorized tools and machinery.

Does Your Child Need Extra Help During Remote Learning Days?

Does Your Child Need Extra Help During Remote Learning Days?
The Literacy Network of South Berkshire (LitNet) is proud to announce that it is now supporting Community Learning in the Berkshires (CLuB) by helping to get the word out and bring tutors to the April Hill Farm program. As reported in a media release, this move is one of several recent developments in LitNet’s operations that signal the organization’s expansion into the community to support immigrants during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Per the request of CLuB’s April Hill Farm campus director Maria Rundle, voluntary LitNet tutors will provide support for children who need extra help during their remote learning days, particularly children of frontline, first responder and education workers, single parents, and immigrants where there is not an immersive English experience in the home. According to their website, CLuB is a coalition of organizations formed in order “to meet the pressing needs of working families whose children will be educated remotely this school year as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.” All tutoring at the April Hill CLuB site happens out of doors or in well-ventilated barns, and learners and educators are all masked.
