No matter how we are connected, YOU have been a vital part of the Snow Farm experience, and now is the time to deepen your connection and commitment.
As you probably know, Snow Farm is a relatively young nonprofit; the last four years were a period of strong growth. However, Snow Farm does not have an endowment or significant cash reserves. We have invested nearly $20,000 to make our campus safe for learning and teaching during a global pandemic.
As a craft school, we work toward a more a just and equitable world for all.
Over the weeks that Snow Farm has been closed, several of our staff members took to video to keep in touch with you, the students who we love and need.
