Weekly evenings of garden tending, harvest and distribution efforts

Join us here to create a deeper relationship with the land while cultivating and sharing food forest abundance.
The food forest is always open to walk-in and enjoy, while harvesting with us during scheduled times creates more opportunity for an exchange & education around plant identification, food safety, & regenerative harvesting practices.
