  • What is Farm Festival?

    Manhattan Country School (MCS) Farm Festival is a fun annual street fair for the whole family that includes rides, entertainment, games and crafts as well as a curated selection of food, farm-fresh produce, handmade goods, and a marketplace for clothing and books. In addition to being an important community event, MCS Farm Festival is also a fundraiser that supports academic programs at our main campus on West 85th Street and the MCS Farm in the Catskills and helps to sustain our equitable sliding-scale tuition model.
     
    MCS has been uniquely committed to teaching its diverse student body about food systems, sustainability and the environment since it opened in 1966. The school has a sliding-scale tuition policy that makes it possible for families to pay tuition based on their means and owns a farm in the Catskills where students from MCS and NYC public schools spend time each school year, learning about interdependence, sustainability, and the importance of being good environmental stewards. MCS Farm Festival is one of the ways we raise the funds to support our equitable tuition program. To learn more about MCS, visit Manhattan Country School .
