Classes and Workshops

All classes are held at the farm and provide classroom instruction plus hands-on activities.

Organic Growing Course

Lynn teaches an Organic Growing Course for Gardeners and Farmers twice each year designed to teach participants how to farm or grow food for their family. This is a seven-day intensive course, typically held over a series of alternate Saturdays in the fall, and again in late winter-early spring. The Course mixes classroom instruction with practical on-farm experiences and field trips to neighboring farms. Hours are from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. A light breakfast with coffee, tea, and baked goods is included, along with a vegetarian lunch of farm-fresh produce, typically salad and soup.

The next Organic Growing Course will be the following dates: February 4 and 18; March 3, 17, 31; and April 14 and 28, 2012

Organic Gardening Workshop

Lynn also teaches a one-day Organic Gardening Workshop each year. This class is an introduction to the fundamentals of growing organically, and includes three sessions–Soils, Pest Management, and Plants plus actual Planting. Each session is approximately two hours in length, including discussion and hands-on activities for practical learning. Typically held on a Saturday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, workshop attendees enjoy a vegetarian lunch of farm-fresh produce, usually soup and salad, with an optional tour of the farm.

The next Organic Gardening Workshop will be held Saturday, April 7, 2012.

Advanced Organic Growing Classes

Advanced Organic Growing Classes were added to Lynn’s teaching repertoire in 2010 at the request of several past students. The topics are customized based on demand and offer a heightened level of education for the seasoned grower.
