In his day job, Michael Devlin is director of grants and initiatives at Harvard Pilgrim Heath Care Foundation while his wife, Maureen, is a fifth-grade teacher in Wayland. Since February, the couple has taken on the additional role of education coordinators for Stearns Farm CSA near their home in Framingham. Michael had this to say about the lineup of public events through October designed to foster healthy eating and an active lifestyle:

Q. Why did this job appeal to you both?

A. Increasing access to fresh, healthy, local foods is a natural fit with my position at Harvard Pilgrim. As for pulling together the curriculum, that’s what my wife does every day. We kept some pre-existing programs and added new opportunities so people beyond the CSA “sharers’’ learn more about this amazing resource.

Q. What is an example of a tried-and-true program you’re bringing back?

A. One of the most popular ones is “Pollinators and Other Beneficial Insects,’’ which is on July 18 this year. It explains why we need bees. They essentially pollinate everything growing on the farm, yet they’re in danger of colony collapse because of pesticides, among other reasons. That’s an important one to know about.

Q. What are some new programs?

A. On June 23, we’ll learn to prepare farm-fresh, healthy snacks from ChopChop magazine, which is for kids and families. On July 28, Elizabeth Fideler will be talking and reading excerpts from her biography of Margaret Welch, an early owner of Stearns Farm. This land has a fascinating history.

Q. How much do the programs cost?

A. In most cases, we ask for a $5 donation. The exceptions are the foraging program on July 12, which costs $20, and the wild edibles program on July 20 for $40. We give discounts to Sudbury Valley trustees and Stearns Farm members.

Q. Are you also members of the CSA?

A. We get a CSA share in exchange for doing this. We’re literally working for vegetables.

Q. What is your ultimate vision for the series?

A. I hope people leave feeling informed, as well as with more ideas about how to live healthier lives. Also, it’s a great opportunity to see this bucolic setting up close, get to know your farmers, and actually see where your food comes from. It’s been a great experience so far.
