A limited number of travel stipends are available for each workshop.
Please register to let us know you’re coming.
For your visit:
Where: We are located in Chester, NY in the beautiful black dirt of Orange County. The farm is about 50 miles from the George Washington Bridge in NYC, located near Route 17 (I-86), I-84, and I-87.
What to bring: A reusable water bottle, a bag lunch, hat, sunscreen, bug spray, closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting very, very, dirty. In case of rain, please also bring rain gear.
IMPORTANT NOTES: We have dogs (friendly!) and cats around the farm - be aware for any allergies.
Workshops will be rescheduled or cancelled in cases of extreme weather (i.e. thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes). We're always watching the weather and will keep everyone updated about cancellations as early as possible.
