Gather & Ground

Gather & Ground is our weekly Saturday invitation to enjoy the farm in whatever way feels right to you.

Every Saturday (July–September), the farm is open from 7:30 AM–12:30 PM (note the earlier start!). You're welcome to arrive and leave at any time during those hours. There is no required schedule, and no "right way" to attend.

• Relax beneath the trees with a book or journal
