They came from far and wide, from Portland to Vermont, Hawaii to Florida, Texas and the Midwest, Manhattan and L. A. But the real flavor that made this Congress special was the representatives from the south and when I say south, I mean Mexico, Belize, Columbia, Peru, Venezuela, Trinidad, Cuba and Argentina. They came with culture, music, videos, new vision, and a lot of great energy.

Last week The Farm School participated in the Bio-Regional Congress in many ways. The congress was a convergence of people looking to better their life’s through the way they interact with nature. It was also a space for all who came to share what has been going on in their various projects. The school offered nature based education to all the children of the congress. Most of the High School students attended the congress during and after school hours. Also the Congress used classrooms as a space for holding open-space workshops. This was a beautiful sharing of knowledge. With more than five countries represented at the
Congress, this really was an international event. – Noah Kindfield, Farm High School
