Educational Farm Tours –
Fall Season Program
PAUSED FOR 2024
Although we were so excited to bring back our educational programming the fall of 2023, we are unfortunately will not be able to offer programming this fall of 2024. We have encountered some logistical hurdles which have put a pause to our programming.
We say PAUSE because it is our intent to re-imagine, re-envision and re-structure our educational offerings at the farm so that they function in a sustainable and consistent way. Community connection has always been the driving force behind our educational offerings and we want to strengthen those connections. We will be taking this time (fall and winter) to restructure our approach so that we can actually increase opportunities for students and community groups to experience the farm in an educational capacity. Thanks for your support and stay tuned for more announcements in the spring of 2025!
