Magic Hour Farm Tour + Q&A with John and Molly Chester

During this 2 hour walking tour, you'll be guided by our Farm Team to see how we utilize the interconnectedness of nature to build soil health, maximize biodiversity, and grow the most nutrient-dense, delicious food possible.

The tour makes several stops around the farm, including:

• Start in the 2 acre regenerative market garden, where we grow 100+ vegetables, herbs, and flowers in harmony with the seasons
• Cows, chickens, sheep, ducks, goats and guardian dogs all have a role on our farm - who you'll see depends on the grazing rhythm
• Farm Fertility Center to learn how we build healthy soil rich in beneficial microbes using worms, compost, and biodynamic practices
• Certified Wildlife Habitat Pond, the centerpiece of the farm’s native restoration and wildlife habitat efforts
• The Fruit Basket, our most diverse orchard where we cultivate 60+ different fruit varieties with cover crop and wildlife habitat
• Alan York Lookout to take in sweeping views of the farm
• A visit to Itty, Emma the pig’s great-granddaughter piglet

PLEASE NOTE:

• Tickets are limited to four tickets per order.
• Tour guests must be able to walk at least 1.5 miles, and some tours involve several hill climbs.
• All ages are welcome, but our farm tours are educational in nature and best suited for ages 13 and over.
