“I love waking up each morning,
with the dew still on the grass and
the sun’s warm rays beaming down. I
wouldn’t trade my job at the Accokeek
Foundation for anything.”
—Kevin Breen, Livestock Apprentice
Expanding farmer training
and outreach: In 2012, the
Accokeek Foundation launched a
livestock apprenticeship program
modeled after the Ecosystem
Farm apprentice program.
The farm apprentices, through
hands-on training, farm tours,
and workshops and agricultural
conferences, learn aspects of farm
business management, including
farm production and marketing.
During fiscal year 2012 (October 1, 2011 through September 31, 2012), the Foundation
advanced three strategic initiatives: studied feasibility of expanding agricultural programs,
including growth of apprentice training and addition of a farm incubator on new land;
researched ways to steward this unique landscape to enhance American Indian and African
American interpretation; and initiated projects within the Park to improve access and add
meaning to the visitor experience.
Increasing public access to the park’s natural and interpretive assets: The historically-registered 18th century
tobacco barn located within the National Colonial Farm exhibit underwent a restoration and repair project led by
Colonial Woodwrights in 2012 to replace a rotting sill.
