Renowned for its rich soil and beautiful weather, Napa Valley is an ideal growing climate for vegetables and fruit. Above the Valley up in the rolling mountains you'll find our no-till market garden filled with diversity of all kinds. Over 40 different varieties of fruits, vegetables, and flowers growing alongside our rich ecosystem and wildlife. Here you'll be able to learn hands-on regenerative farming methods while soaking in the sun off the beaten path.
*Please contact host prior to booking to discuss sensitive location information*
We provide educational market garden workshops on regenerative no-till farming practices. Here you'll learn how to grow healthier plants while working with nature instead of against it.
In the mountains above Napa Valley, we focus on building a better relationship with nature and ourselves through hands-on farming activities and regenerative practices. We begin by taking a tasting tour through our market garden discussing and observing the many different varieties of fruits and vegetables that are currently in production. Here we talk about the importance of seasonality, timing, vegetable selection, and how to find our place in the ecosystem.
From there we begin to get our hands a bit dirty by observing and participating in seasonally appropriate garden tasks. Everything from learning how to build soil, to planting seedlings, to forming new garden bed, and how to properly harvest will be talked about and engaged in.
At the end of our class we leave plenty of time to hash out specific questions related to your growing location and micro climate to make you into the best steward you can be.
