About this event

Step into magic.

Breathe the crisp air. Smell the flowers, the soil after welcomed rain. Listen to birds. Bathe in rays of sunshine. Get refreshed by a winter drizzle. A spring breeze. A summer sweetness.

Inhale and exhale full breaths of grounded serenity as your hands work the soil and you learn how to grow food.

Slow down and let this land soothe your body, mind, and spirit.

Meet new friends with smiling faces, or find your own quiet pace... there's lots of space and everyone is welcome.

What will we be doing?

There's lots to do at the farm! Some frequent tasks we work on are...

• Creating our food forest
• Removing "invasive" weeds
• Creating pathways and planting areas
• Building wood-berms for planting
• Cardboarding and woodchipping
• Planting
• Harvesting

We currently need support with pulling weeds around our property to put up a fence. Come join us!
