It’s going to be a great summer here at the farm, as we get closer and closer to completing our new classroom space to host these classes. To be affectionately called The Larder, this space will house a classroom kitchen and workspace for us to utilize for our farm-to-table experiences, and will also be home to a small farm market! It will be ready later in June, so come see it for yourself.
