Note: About Summerfield Waldorf School and Farm:
Located on a 32-acre campus, with 15 acres farmed biodynamically for 30 years, in rural Santa Rosa. Acting on the conviction that land should be held in a ecologically conscious manner, Summerfield entered into a partnership with Turtle Island Earth Stewardship Society, The Tides Foundation and Sonoma County Land Trust to keep the farm and school land in a perpetual agricultural and wildlife trust.
In addition to an education which is steeped in the practical and fine arts, students in kindergarten through twelfth grade participate in the daily rhythm of the farm- gathering eggs, turning compost piles, caring for animals and planting gardens. This helps children gain an awareness of their connection to and responsibility for the land they farm, the food they eat, and the world they inhabit.
