Accokeek Foundation 2012 Annual Report
October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012
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.
“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.
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.
