Book an appointment now for a consultation or class that meets your needs.
Homesteading
Take time to speak with an owner of our farm to discuss your personal projects or ideas, plans, details, and techniques for farming, homesteading, and gardening. We can help you foster ideas for turning a small plot of land into a sustainable space for your family, or discuss larger agricultural applications for beginning your homesteading farm. Consultations are completed at the farm or over the phone. If you’d like to have one of our teammates come to your property for a consultation, please contact us for pricing and scheduling.
Your Consultation is $75 for 40 minutes.
