WE ACCOMPLISHED THIS BY JOINING THE WEEKLY MONDAY MEALS PROGRAM WHERE CLOSE TO 100 FAMILIES CAME TO PICK UP NECESSITIES, INCLUDING OUR FARM FRESH FOOD. THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FRESH VEGETABLES AND FOOD EXCEEDED 1000 POUNDS IN THIS SECOND SEASON AND THE TOTAL FOR THE 2 SEASONS BEING CLOSE TO 2000 POUNDS OF FOOD. IN ADDITION TO THE FARMING ACTIVITIES, WE CONDUCTED TWO (2) HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION PROGRAMS, BOTH EIGHT WEEKS IN LENGTH. THIS PROGRAM TAUGHT THE STUDENTS FROM THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL ABOUT THE IMPORTANT PROCESSES OF GROWING FARM FRESH FOOD. THESE EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES AFFORDED STUDENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN, ACTIVATE THE LAND AND THEN EVEN VOLUNTEER IN THE SUMMER MONTHS WITH THE FARMHOUSE FARMER TO GROW AND DELIVER THE FRESH FOOD AND VEGETABLES TO LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION SITES WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH FAMILIES AND DELIVER FRESH FOOD. 76457 THE FARMHOUSE STUDIO WAS ACTIVATED THIS YEAR IN A VARIETY OF FASHIONS. WE CREATED A COMMERCIAL CHALLENGE THAT OFFERED AN EIGHT WEEK COURSE ON CREATING AND PRODUCING A SHORT ADVERTISEMENT FOR A LOCAL BUSINESS. THE COURSEWORK COVERED SCRIPTING, PRODUCTION, EDITING, SOUND AND MARKETING OF THE COMMERCIAL. THERE WERE 5 TEAMS OF LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE COMMERCIAL CHALLENGE WITH A NY-BASED FILM PRODUCER AS THE INSTRUCTOR OF THIS MASTER CLASS. ADDITIONALLY, THE FARMHOUSE CONDUCTED SEVERAL INTERVIEWS OF STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE VARIOUS PROGRAMS AT THE FARMHOUSE, TO SHARE THEIR STORIES AND ALSO TALK ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES, GROWTH AND LEARNINGS AT THE FARMHOUSE. THESE WERE INCREDIBLE SHORT FILMS THAT WERE EDITED AND PRODUCED BY OTHER HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, SHOWING STUDENTS THAT THEY CAN BE BOTH IN FRONT OF AND BEHIND THE CAMERA. FINALLY, ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL EXPERIENCES AT THE FARMHOUSE WAS THE EDTV FILM FESTIVAL. THE FARMHOUSE HOSTED 350 PEOPLE (STUDENTS, FAMILIES, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND JUDGES). THERE WERE 30+ FILMS THAT WERE SCREENED AND JUDGED AT THIS FESTIVAL AND THE WINNER OF THE FESTIVAL WAS ABLE TO PREMIER THEIR SHORT FILM AT BOSTON FILM FESTIVAL, WHICH WAS A UNIQUE AND UNHEARD OF EXPERIENCE FOR A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT TO BE ENTERED INTO A PROFESSIONAL FILM FESTIVAL. THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPACTFUL EVENTS AT THE FARMHOUSE 50971 IN 2023, THE FARMHOUSE PHASE 1 SOLAR SOLUTION WAS ANALYZED, DESIGNED AND IMPLEMENTED. THIS INITIATIVE PROVIDED A STRONG LEARNING OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCAL FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO UNDERSTAND HOW SOLAR CAN BE USED TO OFFSET CURRENT ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION. THE PHASE 1 SOLAR EFFORT PRODUCED 40% OF THE FARMHOUSE ENERGY FROM AN INSTALLATION ON ONE OF THE BUILDINGS ON THE PROPERTY. THIS EFFORT GAINED ATTENTION FROM EVERSOURCE AND IN SEPTEMBER, THE EVP, GREEN ENERGY STRATEGY AT EVERSOURCE JOINED DR. JANE GOODALL AT THE FARMHOUSE TO DISCUSS THIS INNOVATIVE SOLUTION AS A SCALABLE SOLUTION FOR COMMUNITIES AROUND THE SOUTH SHORE. 25485 THE FARMHOUSE TEAM COMMISSIONED A LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL ART STUDENT TO TRANSLATE THE FARMHOUSE PHILOSOPHY INTO A MURAL ON A 40' SHIPPING CONTAINER. THIS INNOVATIVE ART PROJECT WAS EXECUTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PLYMOUTH SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL ART DEPARTMENT AND WAS EXECUTED BY A TEAM OF 5-7 ART STUDENTS, LED BY SENIOR ART STUDENT STEVEN QUINN. THE RESULT OF THE ART MURAL WAS AN INCREDIBLE VISTA ART MURAL THAT SHOWED THE CORE PHILOSOPHIES, VALUES AND ASSETS OF THE FARMHOUSE EXPERIENCE. STEVEN SUBMITTED THIS PROJECT AS PART OF THEIR COLLEGE ADMISSIONS PORTFOLIO FOR SAVANNAH COLLEGE OF ART & DESIGN, AND THEY WERE ACCEPTED EARLY DECISION. ADDITIONALLY, THIS ART PROJECT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT STEVEN HAD DIRECTED A COLLABORATION OF STUDENTS, EACH WITH THEIR SEPARATE VIEWS AND PERSPECTIVES ON THE PROJECT AND MARSHALED ALL TEAMMATES TO CREATE A BEAUTIFUL MURAL. FINALLY, THIS PROJECT WAS RECOGNIZED BY THE FARMHOUSE DURING THE SENIOR AWARDS NIGHT, WHERE THE TEAM PRESENTED STEVEN WITH CREATOR OF THE YEAR AWARD, THAT WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A 1000 SCHOLARSHIP FOR THEIR COLLEGE EXPENSES. 25485 254855 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false 0 0 false 3 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 3 3 false false false false false false false true true false false true true false false true false false false false MA X PAUL KRASINSKI 6462289002 296 CENTER HILL ROAD PLYMOUTH MA 02360 X PAUL KRASINSKI PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LYNNE LIPINSKY TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KATHY KNIGHT CLERK 1.00 X X 0 0 0 false false false 10208 10208 PROGRAM SERVICE REVENUE 5602 5602 5602 21 21 15831 5623 109167 109167 11138 11138 5394 5394 4000 4000 16397 13333 3064 4922 4922 100669 100669 145 145 2938 2938 847 847 16306 8006 8300 PROPERTY MAINTENANCE 58247 58247 AUTO LEASE 26027 26027 SUPPLIES 7189 7189 WELLNESS PROGRAM 6929 6929 15464 14674 790 385779 254855 130924 0 49319 34170 430169 917844 227390 610154 690454 11151 10304 1100793 734928 13970 18053 13970 18053 X 1086823 716875 1086823 716875 1100793 734928 -369948 X false false false X 1649072 10208 1659280 17893 5623 23516 1666965 15831 1682796 10000 10000 10000 10000 1672796 1666965 15831 1682796 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 626321 7881 618440 291523 219509 72014 690454 EPICENTER EXPERIENCE LLC OFFICER OWNED 78000 RENT false SCHEDULE L, PART V SCHEDULE L, PART II, LOANS TO AND FROM INTERESTED PERSONS: (A) NAME OF PERSON: EPICENTER EXPERIENCE, LLC.
