Learn Green and Change

"Spend an afternoon at Smokey House Center in Danby, learning how this organic farm/CSA operation raises organic vegetables, fruits, maple syrup, and natural beef, pork, lamb, and turkeys, while it also changes the lives of area at-risk young people, teaching them academic, social, and workplace skills. Youth participants in the Smokey House Center program sell the products they have raised each Saturday, May through October, at the Downtown Rutland Farmers Market.

There will be an opportunity to visit Smokey House Center itself on a guided tour, Saturday, June 16, at 3 p.m. See this year-round operation that combines farming and forestry, producing top quality agricultural products in an environmentally and socially responsible manner."
