Last Holidaze Weekend Coming Up!

We’re heading into the last Holidaze weekend on the farm, and it promises to be great weather! We have some special gifts in the farm stand, from Chris Cox’s magical rock and wood totems, to the whimsical PotHeads, to lavender-themed gift sets and more. We’re open 11 AM to 5 PM Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, December 22, 23, and 24 (for that last minute shopping!). Bring the mud boots so you can explore the farm and check out the GREEN, walk the labyrinth, watch the ducks at work whittling down the slug population, and visit the chickens. We have a rooster now—Hot Rod is is name. He’s got a wacky hairdo and blue legs and loves to race around the pen. He was supposed to be a hen, but we caught him crowing the other morning, so NOT a hen!

   

Farm Experiences Coming Soon

We have a number of fun and interesting things to do at the farm coming up in January and through the spring. Good gift ideas for that person who doesn’t want any more things, but would enjoy a new experience.

Garden Workshops: Starting January 13 and continuing through March, we’ll be offering seven hands-on workshops to expand your gardening horizons. Sign up for one or two or all seven! Our Saturday morning sessions will take you from planning to planting, with an eye toward bountiful harvests and beautiful blooms. Check out our Workshops page for more details.
