Compass Rose Farms

  Take one of our private tours with Kateen Fitzgerald as she shares the story and beauty of this land. Kateen generously 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.   

Come for a guided tour of the grove and stay for some solitude. Bring a mat to sit on and a notebook to wander with. Artists, wanderers, and, weavers are welcome. Arrangements for future visits can be made without tour fees.

The grove is available for celebrations and ceremonies as well as personal use. please, let us know how the grove can serve you.

The roses garden is open for tour and picking during the bloom. Please check in with us as roses have three bloom cycles between June and September. Tours include natural rose care, meeting new varieties, and lots of joyful smelling.

Brides and their parties can make an appointment to pick bouquets and schedule tea parties on the lawn.

One-hour tours of the Permaculture demonstration site are available, during the growing season. Our garden includes many smaller gardens including culinary herbs, medicinal plants, flowers, vegetables, perennials and fruit and nut orchards. Meet the geese and ducks and see how they work in the landscape. when available u-pic produce may be added to your tour.

Tours of the fiber mill, studio, and sheep are a fun way to get your fiber-loving friends together and have a day on the farm. Bring a picnic lunch and your knitting and stay a while to knit in the gardens. Yarn and roving are available for sale.
