A little about Burgess Farm
Supported by help from campers, students, and community volunteers, the farm at South Shore YMCA’s Camp Burgess produces fresh vegetables, herbs, berries, and eggs for the Sandwich farmers’ market, the camp’s dining hall, and local food pantries. Programs at the farm focus on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility in addition to aligning with state academic frameworks.
In the spring and fall, we offer farm-based classes for our overnight outdoor education participants in addition to single-day field trips for local schools. In the summer, the farm is a favorite hang-out spot for campers participating in our traditional overnight summer camp offerings.
