What if you knew how to grow your own sustainably raised vegetables and fruits?

Imagine the independence and food security that would give you, especially at a time when food prices have been skyrocketing, and processed and lab created foods are continually being promoted.

Maybe you'd even like to start your own small farm or food related business--though that's not a requirement.

Come spend 5 days with us on our working organic farm in Waitsfield learning, experiencing, asking questions, getting your hands dirty, and connecting with nature deeply. There is so much wisdom and healing in nature, we just need to tune in.

Learn from 2 seasoned professionals how to grow the crops that you like the most. Dave and Amy have over 60 years combined of growing knowledge. From the backyard garden to the commercial field crops.
This is a deep dive into certified organic, as well as some sustainably produced hydroponic growing.
We'll also take some fun and educational field trips.
The program will be customized to fit those that participate.

It's part learning program, and part retreat. Business (or life) coaching is included.
