Big news! Community Barn Build October 24th and 25th! We purchased a barn kit and moved it to our farm site just outside of Kingsley. Join us in building a barn classroom. In this new classroom, we can hold year-round classes and workshops for larger audiences! No building experience necessary, we will have an experienced builder to guide us through the process. Check out the link for more details on how you can help!
We feel very grateful to have such an amazing community! Thank you to all of our instructors, class participants, donors, and volunteers that made this possible and thanks to everyone that helped us in moving the kit!
