April 1:
Art in Nature

Join us at the farm on April 1, from 11am-2pm, for a day of creativity and experimentation. We’ll explore our land by collecting natural objects which we’ll use to make cyanotypes, or sun prints. This describes the cyan blue photographic printing process, invented at the dawn of photography, wherein the treated surface is exposed to sunlight to create an image from the shadow of an object.

We’ll also celebrate Easter with an egg hunt on the farm for the kids. Hosted in collaboration with one of our members, Shirley, founder of Wunderhaus.

Pumpkin Carving

Celebrate Autumn by learning about all the different varieties of winter squashes that we have on the farm: Delicata; Red Kuri; Green Hokkaido; Sweet Dumpling; Butternut; Muscat de Provence; Hungarian Blue; Jack o Lantern.

Garlic Planting

Garlic is a bigtime crop, taking about six months from seed to harvest. We plant the cloves at the end of Autumn to be able to harvest them in Spring. In this workshop, we’ll celebrate the end of the season by getting our hands dirty (and smelly) by planting garlic cloves in compost and manure, so that these crops can have long lasting nutrients as they grow throughout winter.

More details to follow soon.
