Am I able to sign up for in-person classes?2023-10-12T11:50:54-06:00

Unfortunately, we are not offering in-person classes at this time. Due to forces outside of our control, we had to close down our farm in 2019. We have taken all of our knowledge and course structures from our farm days and put them onto this online course. We still hope to one day resume in-person classes and as soon as we have them available again, we will be sure to post online and on our social media channels.
