The Richmond Vale Academy is a model school and farm on the island. We try to grow and produce our own food, mostly organic. Participants will also experience community living, cooking, cleaning, harvesting food, garden farming, building furniture, and other skills needed to be a self-sufficient leader who can do anything they put their mind to.
