The Harvest for Health Initiative

“Eating is an agricultural act.”  -Wendell Berry

The Harvest for Health (H4-H) Initiative at Bryant Pond 4-H Camp and Learning Center brings the connections between healthy people, a healthy environment, and strong local economies to life for over 4000 people each year.  A visit to Bryant Pond 4-H Center for Summer Camp, a Lakeside Classroom school program, or one of our workshop offerings for adults, includes rich hands-on experience in gardening and composting, small animals, locally sourced food, gardening and foraging, hunting and fishing and much more!
