If the goal is to make our food system more resilient, it's not enough to train new farmers -- we must also engage communities in conversations about what farming is and how, together, we can make farming and eating more regenerative.
So, yes, each Friday, from 5:30 - 7:00 PM, the OFS invites community members to join us for an evening of community engagement and togetherness! (you are welcome to stay until 8pm, but after a long day in the field, we will start cleaning up the Picnic Shelter at 7)
These gatherings give us all a chance to catch up with each other and meet someone new. It's also GREAT for our students to see who is supporting them as they learn how to be farmers - and they are getting really good at offering farm tours. We hope you join us...bring your own beverage, walk through the field, ask questions about what's growing, and maybe catch something coming out of that beauty of a wood-fired oven!
If you'd like to volunteer to help make pizzas, we'd love to have you! It's a great way to get involved and it's fun! Email judy@organicfarmschool.org for more info.
