EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

Seasonal Classes will be offered to the public, school groups and organizations. Topics including: “How to Prepare Your Soil”, “Building and Using Season Extending Methods for Extra Early, Extra Abundant Harvest”, “Growing Great Garlic”, “Growing Colorful and Healthful Salads”, “Composting for the Beginners” and more. 

Cooking Classes: Parents and children can learn how to harvest and prepare nutritious and healthful meals and snacks. Participants will learn where their food comes from by going into the fields to harvest what they will be cooking. One of our classes will be for the daring but reluctant vegetable eaters titled, “I Dare You to Eat That”.

Tours: Both self-guided and guided tours can be scheduled. Arrange to have your family, school group or organization come visit a working farm.  This historic farm is now producing fresh, local vegetables free of chemicals.

School Field Trips: Learn about sustainable farming, composting, raised bed backyard gardening and more. Each field trip will be activity oriented, age appropriate and designed to meet State Standards. Ask us about customizing a field trip specific to your needs.

A schedule of specific classes, times, dates and costs will be posted as scheduled. Please revisit this page for more specific information.
