Growing Food. Growing Minds. Growing Community.

The Portsmouth AgInnovation Farm is located at Cloverbud Ranch in Portsmouth, RI.

The Portsmouth AgInnovation Farm is a student-driven community farm education program where students problem solve during authentication learning and community collaboration, so that they become productive citizens in our community.

Thank you to Portsmouth Middle School and Joseph H. Gaudet Middle School, our volunteers, and everyone who has donated time, money, and resources to create a farm where our children can learn about sustainable agriculture.

The AgInnovation Pollinator Garden is now a Certified Schoolyard Habitat

Last week, AgInnovation celebrated our achievement of becoming certified as a Schoolyard Habitat through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. As the cornerstone of our growing outdoor classroom space, the Pollinator Garden connects students to nature through observation, exploration, and hands-on learning. We celebrated this milestone with a ribbon-cutting ceremony that highlighted how native plants and student curiosity are helping pollinators thrive!

“It was one of our last days of the afterschool program and she (Bella) came back to help out and told us how much she loved it and wanted to be there as much as possible before she graduated and went to college. She is the oldest of our founders and the first to graduate and will probably continue on in the environmental field.” Margie Brennan
