Programs
Soil Saturday Walks
A tour of the “invisible farm” through sensory exploration, biodynamic practices, and participatory art/science. We visit with seasons, soil, plants, animals, and other - sometimes hidden - elements that make up a farm’s life.
Why people participate and what they take home:
“To get in touch with the earth.”
“I have more of an appreciation for land- more depth. I would love more people to know about the program.”
“I came for connection, learning, healing. My goals were exceeded.”
“I feel warm and connected. I really connected to my child self and sense of wonder. This experience brings back memories of camp in the best way and the curiosity of learning something new. ”
“Learning, communal experience, understanding how to integrate the ‘three soils’ inspiration into my journey.”
“I feel so full and ready to bridge this major “knowledge-action gap”.”
Winter WOrkshop
A weekend intensive at Hawthorne Valley Farm for farmers, eaters, and all other members of the regenerative foodshed.
“This is important. This is awesome. Knowledge and connection.”
“I have a great sense of calm and a more flowing, spreading appreciation of the soundscapes and visuals created by the nature surrounding me”
“ To get to know the farm, soil, people, and the area. I loved the pace and the people and the topic. I feel calm and connected afterward.”
“Giving a space to look at deep, difficult issues. not shying away from the discomfort. Really giving a space to wrestle, not just preach.”
“I was interested in opening my views of soil and earth and fertility. The magic of soil opened up.”
“I was moved by the space that was created and held.”
“I wanted to learn more, hands on, about soil processes and life. Seeing the dug out shirt remains, placed next to each other; all different, all telling us a slightly different story, yet with the same message...This walk gave me hope for the future, and that alone is huge!”
