July 13 @ 13:00 - 15:00

Summer is a vibrant and abundant time to visit the farm! The orchard is full, fruits are ripening, and life is buzzing across the ecosystem. Baby animals are growing, pollinators are in full swing, and the garden is bursting with seasonal color. It’s a beautiful moment to witness how our regenerative farming practices come to life in the warmth and energy of summer.
The farm is 234 acres total; during your 2 hour walking tour, you’ll stop by several key spots, including:
- Market garden, a certified wildlife habitat growing a variety of vegetables, herbs, fruits and flowers. See first hand how we cultivate biodiversity to bolster the immulonolgy of the land and help balance pests and disease while growing food.
- Cows, chickens, sheep, ducks, goats and guardian dogs all have a role on our farm – who you’ll see depends on the grazing rhythm
- Farm Fertility Center to learn how we build healthy soil rich in beneficial microbes using worms, compost, and biodynamic practices
