We will be offering monthly classes moving forward. Watch this space! Here are some additional educational activities we are working on as well:
- We are working on designing hands-on workshops to take place on site at our farm near Oakville. We hope to offer the first of these full-day workshops in fall of 2024!
- We have recently started an online educational blog. It will eventually cover a large variety of educational topics and will be a permanent online resource for folks.
- We have greatly expanded our library of educational books and materials available at the store! This includes organic farming, gardening, homesteading, animal care, crafting, cooking, preserving, permaculture, sustainability, environmental health, regenerative agriculture, and much more.
- Our team of knowledgeable senior staff members are skilled in a variety of areas and love sharing their skills with members of our community! We encourage members of the public to ask our staff members for help with any aspect of farming or gardening they may need more information on!
