On Saturday, July 20, 2019 the HHMI funded summer programs will be returning to America's Grow-a-Row for the third straight year to pick vegetables at this amazing nonprofit farm in Pittstown, NJ. Last year we were able to help collect 1,600 pounds of zucchini and 4,600 pounds of cucumbers. Hopefully we can beat those numbers this year!
Our students have worked so hard this summer. Please join us while they show off what they have learned.
