Yesterday, a group of students from a variety of different majors visited Benson’s Pond Cranberry Bog and Frogfoot Farm. At Benson’s Pond, they had the opportunity to learn about the family-run operation, the process of growing cranberries, and the unique natural fertilizers they use to support the growth of the cranberries, including fermented cranberries! They also learned about new technology and job opportunities within the cranberry industry.
Frogfoot is a sustainable farm that addresses food insecurity and farm waste through agroecological farming, gleaning, and volunteer action. Students had the opportunity to learn about how they support their surrounding communities, along with helping with tasks including planting, prepping beds and laying mulch.
Thank you so much to these wonderful farms for their insights and for providing these opportunities to our students!🌱
Yesterday, Arboriculture seniors practiced using climbing spurs in preparation for learning how to bring equipment up into the tree and perform removals safely and efficiently.
These students will be well prepared for the workforce with a strong foundation of knowledge in specialized tree work.
A few students also utilized new equipment they won at the Arbor Jamboree, courtesy of Arbsession and Nadeau Tree Services. We are so grateful for your support. It is truly beneficial to the growth and success of our students. 🌳

Last week, our Floriculture and Livestock students came together to explore the wonders of cheesemaking through a hands-on collaborative learning experience. Using local milk generously donated by Arruda’s Dairy, students created two fresh cheeses while learning about the science and craftsmanship behind the process.
The first cheese, a fromage blanc cultured overnight, gave students the opportunity to observe curds and whey before scooping the curds into cheesecloth to take home. The second cheese was inspired by Squacquerone — a fresh, mildly cultured cheese similar to Portuguese fresh cheese with a slight tang. Students added the calcium chloride, rennet, and culture themselves before cutting the curds and placing them into molds.
To complete the experience, students also created their own charcuterie plates using cheeses generously donated by Narragansett Creamery and Smith’s.
A huge thank you to all of our donors and community partners for supporting hands-on agricultural education and helping provide meaningful farm-to-school learning opportunities for our students. 🐄🧀🌱

Agricultural Mechanics Juniors have been working on a tractor restoration project. Students rebuilt the chassis, overhauled the transmission, and serviced the drivetrain components. They also refinished the exterior with a fresh paint job and detailed cleaning, bringing the tractor back to operational condition and extending its service life for continued agricultural use. Keep an eye out for future restored tractor raffles!🚜

We were excited to welcome back Bristol Aggie alum Kaci Leonard (Class of 2020), now a Manager, IPM Specialist, and Production Specialist at Olsen’s Greenhouses! 🌿🐞
Kaci worked hands-on with our sophomore floriculture students, teaching them about beneficial insects and their role in sustainable pest management. Students learned not only how these insects support healthy crop production, but also how to properly release them in our greenhouse.
It’s always inspiring to see our graduates return to share their knowledge and real-world experience—thank you, Kaci, for helping our students grow!
The Arbor Jamboree is an exciting, hands-on tree climbing competition designed to mirror the real-world practices of the arboriculture industry. This event provides students with a unique opportunity to demonstrate the technical skills, safety procedures, and problem-solving abilities they’ve developed through their training.
Modeled after professional arborist competitions, participants engage in a series of challenges that test their climbing techniques, equipment use, and overall efficiency in the tree. From ascending and maneuvering through the canopy to completing simulated work tasks, students showcase both their physical ability and their understanding of industry standards.
Beyond the competition, the Arbor Jamboree highlights the dedication, precision, and professionalism required in tree care careers. It’s a celebration of student growth and a chance for them to apply classroom learning in a dynamic, real-world setting—while building confidence, camaraderie, and pride in their craft. #BAPRIDE #CultivatingExcellence
