We are thrilled to announce our new year-round class series, featuring a class each month. Each class is thoughtfully designed to align with the seasons and covers a variety of engaging themes such as art, cooking, gardening, and more. Whether you're interested in attending a single class or the entire series, there's something for everyone!
Our classes will be led by our experienced instructors, Francesca Benedetti, our Soil and Production Manager, and Corina Person, our Education Director. They will be supported by our dedicated staff members, ensuring a rich and immersive learning experience for all participants.
While these classes are open to both adults and families, they are specifically tailored for aspiring farmers and community members who want to explore the world of farming. Whether you're looking to acquire skills for your own backyard gardening, connect with nature, or expand your knowledge base, our classes have got you covered.
