Deep ecology inspired programming

EVENTS & PROGRAMMING

We offer programs and presentations on agroecology, permaculture design, regenerative agriculture, plant medicine, and ecological land stewardship.  

Informed by a philosophy of deep ecology, our programs span the spiral web of interconnection, and reflect an authentic relationship with the natural world rooted in informed and applied practice on our farm, and beyond our fields. We have partnered with organizations, universities, fellow farmers, and educators on a wide range of workshops, talks, and programs.
