You're been asking for ages, and this year we can happily offer adult workshops at the farm! We are delighted to offer more opportunities to adults as well as kids for reconnection to the land. Run by Coleen, these five workshops offer a variety of hands-on experiences.

BUCKSKIN TANNING

Dates: July 15-17, 9 am - 5 pm 
Cost: $300 - $500 sliding scale

This is a three-day workshop transforming deerskin into buckskin. Buckskin is a soft, supple, buttery leather that is the most pliable, durable, and sustainable fabric that exists. You will learn the wet scrap method, brain softening, and punk wood smoke tanning. This is a physically intense skill that requires endurance. Woven into this class will be community conversation, ritual, interpersonal connection, and transformation. Two participants will work on one hide together and will leave with half of a hide!
