There are service opportunities for 7th and 8th-grade students. Alumni are welcome to attend.

The Homeschool Harvesters grow yummy vegetables and learn about gardening at a family farm in Brentwood. The cost is $60 per family. The group meets Thursday mornings beginning when the rains stop--usually late April into early May and ends in October. Families should come prepared for hard work during the hot summer with the rewards of fresh produce beginning in late June to October. Younger children need to be properly supervised (work with a parent) as this is a working farm with lots of animals and equipment.
