Current Tour Programs

See various farm animals, smell earthy compost, feel soil passing through your fingers, and taste your way through the crop fields and greenhouses as our farmers guide you through reconnecting with the natural world using all 5 of your senses, exploring the sense landscape across the farm.
-
Get up close and personal with the 40+ varieties of crops in our fields and greenhouses, explore life cycles and earth cycles, and learn what it takes to produce healthy, organic food year after year before putting your skills to work.

As community members of a local and global ecosystem, we have a responsibility to practice sustainable stewardship of the earth. Participants learn about the sustainable, organic practices on our working production farm and engage in deeper conversation about environmental responsibility, local food systems, and climate action.
-
Experience your food from source to belly as we take you around the farm and harvest ingredients together to prepare a seasonal meal in our farm kitchen.

The health of the ecosystem surrounding a farm is just as important as the health of the crop fields themselves. Participants experience the farm and fields, learning about our sustainable agriculture practices, then venture onto the trails and meet the trees, geology, and hydrology of our forests.
