Join us at Nature Kin this Saturday!

Join us for the Crabtree Farms Community Book Club, a monthly gathering centered on food land sustainability health and community. This is a space to slow down connect and dive into meaningful conversations while building community around shared learning.

We meet the first Wednesday of each month from 5:30 to 7:30 PM starting in May 2026. Each session includes guided discussion reflection and connection to the farm.

Our first gathering on May 6 explores reciprocity and community through The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer, a powerful reflection on gratitude generosity and what we can learn from the natural world.

Spots are limited so be sure to register in advance. Come read reflect and grow with us 🌱
