Shelburne Farms, VT The ABC's of Educational Farming

I attended a workshop called the ABC's of Educational Farming held at Shelburne Farms, VT last weekend.  I came away with a great resource book, Project Seasons, which is full of activites to use with visitors to the "educational farm that will be..." one day in the (sooner than later) future!  I was able to brainstorm with folks who already run similiar programs, volunteer, or are involved in Farm to School programs in and around Vermont.  Programs that focus on educational farming and connections to local food systems are abundant in the New England area and my hope is for this interest to trickle down south a bit!  The most valuable information that I gained came in the form of fundraising and business ideas.  My biggest obstancle at this point is how to gain the funds to actually make my ideas a reality.  I am researching the possibility of launching a fundraiser campaign on http://www.kickstarter.com/.   Check out the website if you have time!  I'm more than interested in your opinions and advice on how to attain start up funds for Two Bees Farm educational programing.  I am also working on a survey to assess community interest in educational farming programs (after school, summer camps, and weekend classes) and would appreciate any sharing of email addresses.  I'd like to have this ready to send out by mid-April and could use your help.  If you know of anyone who might be intested in what I'm doing and wouldn't mind taking a short needs assessment survey, send me their email address!  You can reach me at seahorsenc@gmail.com.  Here are a few links that may be of interest..
