Gather & Ground

every SATURDAY
July, August, & September

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.

Come simply to spend time on the land, or choose to join one or more of our optional guided offerings throughout the morning.

You might:

• Wander the gardens and meadow

• Visit the sheep and ducks

• Relax beneath the trees with a book or journal

• Bring your children to enjoy the sandbox and swingset

• Pack a picnic to enjoy on the farm

• Participate in a guided meditation, movement, or community singing session

• Stay for fifteen minutes or spend the whole morning
