Fresh food is central to the Chewonki experience – students and campers help our farm team generate nearly 1/3 of the meat and produce needed for the 78,000 meals we serve in a typical year.

Even in a pandemic, silver linings are everywhere! Like many organizations, we’ve found ourselves with a little extra time to complete much-needed campus projects, including the addition of two new storage sheds to Packout.
