Woodbridge Farm Receives Grant For Education Programs

WOODBRIDGE, CT — A Woodbridge farm is receiving a $49,402 grant from the state. The farm is one of 25 around the state to receive a total of $750,000.

The Massaro Community Farm in Woodbridge will receive the funds for improving educational infrastructure. These funds will help to create a 100’x 125’ livestock education area and provide livestock water access and hand-washing stations.

The funds will also help with materials and supplies for agricultural programming and support the Summer Youth Employment program.

“The Massaro Community Farm is a Woodbridge treasure,” state Sen. James Maroney (D-Milford) said in a statement. “I am thrilled to see the state recognize their value by providing them with this grant. The funding will be used so people can continue to enjoy their farms for years to come. They strive to not only create an environment encouraging others to get involved but they commit themselves to helping others through educational programs, sustainability workshops, and donations to local hunger relief agencies.”
