Farm Workshops
Our classes and workshops will have you step into the Farm Kitchen & Processing Room to learn about and participate in transforming seasonal produce into finished products. We delight in cooking and preserving our farm fresh food. Our offers range from Cider Pressing and/or canning; cheese making; hands on Kraut making or simple cooking lessons such as Spinach Roulade or Bone Broth.
Field Workshops offer hands-on learning about actual work and practices done on our farm and that can scale to the homestead, home garden or small farm. Each year, we partner with a variety of subject matter experts to offer learning opportunities on orchard, silvo-pasture, grazing, livestock & regenerative agriculture.
Example Workshop: Chèvre from Start to Finish
Learn all the steps and make your own chèvre cheese! This experience will take place in at least three different segments over the course of 36-48 hours. Sample your finished product plain or harvest your choice of herbs or other embellishments for the finished cheese. If your time is limited, we can pack all the steps into a 2 hour workshop by pre-prepping some steps.
COST: $225 for 1-8 people.
Example Workshop: Yes You Can!
Help with the harvest of the day and then head into the farmhouse kitchen for hands on processing of the day’s delights, and initiate or upgrade your dehydrating or canning skills. Take home the fruits of your labor. Schedule early for a multi-day, fill-your-pantry option.
COST: Times and prices can vary depending on the number and types of products you wish to make.
Example Workshop: Farmer In Training
For the kid in all of us. Spend a morning, day or weekend as a Farmer-in-Training. Your chance to assist the farmers with their daily work, learning how to care for the animals and plants on the farm. This could include learning the names of the animals, feeding and moving the animals to new pasture, caring for crops, checking the compost, collecting and packaging eggs, harvesting vegetables, joining us at the farmers market and, of course, answering all of your (or your child’s) questions. Step beyond our barnyard and right into our farm operation. This package will be tailored to the experience level of each farmer-in-training and can be repeated for kids and adults to progress to more advanced levels where you get to take on more responsibility. Includes a farmer lunch.
Custom half day, full day and weekend packages available; requires advanced reservations.
Ages 6 and up.
COST: Price depends on the package, length of time and number of people, but runs $200-$600.
