Farm to Feast 2027

Join us for our 21st Annual Farm To Feast® farm-to-table dinner and live auction fundraiser on our Demeter Certified Biodynamic® farm on May 22, 2027.

Funds raised at Farm To Feast® are used to support vital school programs, and empower us to maintain a school community that is socioeconomically diverse. We build community by gathering at our farm and celebrating with the spirit of giving and gratitude.

Check back on the Farm to Feast page for announcements regarding this year’s offerings including food and drink, auction items, sponsors, and live music.

Annual Giving Campaign

October–December.

Funds raised during our fall Annual Giving Campaign go a long way in supporting our educational programs each year. Contributions via our Annual Giving Campaign (AGC) fund our Special Programs in the arts, music, handwork and more; provide emergency tuition assistance; support our Biodynamic® farm with integrated curriculum; allow us to hire (and retain) outstanding faculty; offer ongoing professional development; and so much more.

Each year our goal is 100% community participation, including faculty, staff, and our board. For more information, please email our Development Office: development [at] summerfieldwaldorf [dot] org.

Why support AGC?

It is part of our culture and tradition to keep tuition at a modest level, allowing those who can give more to make tax-deductive contributions, and enabling us to provide financial assistance to community members who could not afford to be here without help, but are dedicated to Waldorf education. Our tuition is low in comparison to other private schools in the area. This is part of what keeps our school vibrant with a myriad of families and experiences.

Please help us to support this important mission and maintain the sense of community that makes Summerfield so wondrous. Thank you for your generosity.
