Upcoming Events
Apothecary Class @ Fehr: Spice Rack Medicine
From culinary herbs to the well known "pot marigold" AKA calendula, there are many plants grown in culinary gardens that can be of use in a home herbal medicine cabinet. We'll explore some grown on the farm and participants can harvest herbs to bring home and process.
Volunteer Day @ Vale
Come get your hands dirty and help us care for the land at our upcoming Volunteer Day! This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature, beautify our farm, and build community with your neighbors. We'll be tackling a variety of tasks, and no prior experience is needed—just a willingness to work and have fun!
By volunteering, you're not only helping the farm thrive but also playing a crucial role in maintaining our local ecosystem.
Join us in cultivating a beautiful space for everyone to enjoy. We can't wait to see you there!
