We are pleased to announce that we are now taking registrations for our first Backyard Veg Workshop Series! 

Keen to up your veggie gardening game, but still not completely sure about a whole lot of things?

  • I’ve watched 100 videos on YouTube and now I really don’t know where to start!
  • I can’t even keep houseplants alive, how could I reliably grow my own food?
  • Composting sounds like the right thing to do, but I am nervous about the mess.
  • My veggies do well at first, but then it kind of peters out.
  • The bugs got to my plants and I quit because organic means no pesticides, right?
  • So many tools at the garden centre – where do I start?
  • Where can I source good quality supplies?

Sign up now for all or some of our new hands-on veggie gardening workshops.  Just imagine how much you could learn by having an experienced, local biodynamic farmer guide you through a full cycle of backyard veg growing! The course consists of a series of four workshops – one for each season. Each workshop will be have a maximum of 15 participants getting their hands dirty right here on our farm.
