Spend a December Saturday with us at the farm. On December 12 we open the Dye Studio, the Dining Hall and Fifield Hall for a day of holiday making, with two wreath workshops led by Mady St. George, a Farm to Table lunch, and a free afternoon of crafts and tastings that anyone can join.
Wreath workshops
Mady leads two small wreath workshops in the Dye Studio, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Each spot makes one fresh evergreen wreath, about 18 to 20 inches across, and the greens, ribbon, wire and tools are all provided. If you’d like to make a second wreath, choose two wreaths when you register, and the second takes another spot. Each workshop is limited to 12 spots.
The morning workshop runs from 9:30 a.m. to noon and includes the Farm to Table lunch that follows. It’s $65 for the wreath and $20 for lunch, $85 in all.
The afternoon workshop runs from 2:30 to 5 p.m. and is $65. You can come early for lunch at noon for $20, which is $10 less than lunch on its own.
Farm to Table lunch
Lunch is served in the Dining Hall at noon, and lunch guests can stay on for cookie decorating with Kelly from 1 to 2. Reserve a seat at lunch for $30 a person. Seats are limited.
Crafts and tastings in Fifield Hall
From 1 to 3 p.m., Fifield Hall is open to everyone, whether or not you’ve signed up for a workshop or lunch, and there’s nothing to reserve. Make holiday cards with Nick, paint with watercolors alongside Sarah, and enjoy festive crafts for the whole family, along with seasonal tastings.* We’ll have farm T-shirts and bags on hand, and you can get a first look at the 2027 workshops. Out in the courtyard, staff will keep a fire going for toasting marshmallows.
*Tastings are pending approval of a state license.
