For your group

Private Workshops

Bring your company, family, guild, or class to the farm for a workshop of your own. One of our instructors teaches the craft you choose, in our studios, on dates that suit your group.

Renee Baumann works on a heritage basket.

What you can book

A craft

Choose from the farm’s five areas of work: farm and garden, blacksmithing and metal arts, woodworking, fiber arts, and heritage craft and basketry. If you are not sure, tell us about your group and we will suggest one.

A length

A private workshop can run for a single day, several days in a row, or one day a week over a longer stretch. Shorter workshops are simpler to plan, and longer ones leave time for bigger projects. We’ll help you choose.

A group size

The studios hold up to fifteen students, and the meeting spaces fit larger groups. We’ll help you find the right room for your group.

How it works

Lunch from the farm kitchen can be added, and so can a tour of the mills.

Ask about a private workshop

Groups we often hear from: teams looking for a day away from screens, families and reunions, craft guilds, and school and college classes.
