Program Introduction
Learn the basics of how to grow vegetables successfully at home through our Growing 101 program!
Come to the farm for hands-on learning: what plants need to grow, how to plan and plant an organic vegetable garden, and how to deal with common challenges encountered by gardeners, including weather, weeds, pests, and diseases. Meeting in the greenhouse, barn and gardens you get to experience a variety of growing environments and methods.
Our mission is to equip you with the skills and assurance needed to cultivate your own fresh produce. Join us in our vegetable gardening course, where we'll provide the guidance and support you need to thrive as a home gardener and community cultivator.
Meeting every two weeks is a great way to have ongoing support. Each group is an opportunity to problem solve, share successes and learn new hands on skills to grow your garden.
