Partner Pavilion

It all begins with an idea. Local non-profit and civic organizations are invited to partner with Bowers School Farm to bring a variety of hands-on activities, displays, and presentations to Open Barn guests. Partner Pavilions take place on Saturdays April through October 10 am-4 pm.

Partner Pavilions highlight a specialty theme that is aligned with our mission and the following topics: agriculture, education, and/or the environment.

The Partner Pavilion is a great opportunity to connect with local community members in a unique, fun-filled setting.
