Gather at the Farm
Our events are an open invitation to slow down and come together.
From hands-on workshops and seasonal classes, to farm dinners, live music, and neighborly potlucks, we gather to celebrate the connection of land with our plate, body, spirit, and community.
Whether you’re learning a new skill or sharing a meal under the stars, there’s always a place for you at the table.
