FARM TOURS
“Lets take our hearts for a walk in the woods and listen to the magic of old trees..”
We invite you to come for a tour of the land, spend an hour wandering in the grove, or smelling roses in the garden. This land has much to teach and a big heart to share, she is ancient and her voice can be heard in the trees.
Private Tours
Take one of our one hour private tours with Kateen Fitzgerald. She shares her wisdom and knowledge gathered during her 33 years of working in partnership with the land. This is a great opportunity to “pick her brain” and ask questions about everything from farming and fiber to roses.
Information
