In 2020, a small raised-bed garden was planted with Indigo, Rudbeckia, Marigold, Madder, and Weld. Led by Sara Goodman, the staff harvested and experimented with live plants to create pigments. By the next year, demand had increased for dye materials and the garden was expanded to two 50x20ft plots beside the teaching garden. In 2023 the dye garden became a mixed use garden as we grew cut flowers for our CSA there. We have moved the dye garden closer to the Dye Studio to give it a permanent and productive place on the farm.
