Farm & Garden

Oxen and horses work the fields and the woodlot here, the gardens grow vegetables, herbs, cut flowers, and dye plants, and willow grows in the farm's own coppice.

Farm and garden workshops teach that work from the inside. Students learn how an ox team is chosen, yoked, and driven, how a garden is planned and kept through a season, and how a plant becomes food, a fragrance, a picture, or a fly that will float on a New Hampshire stream. The animals are treated as partners, with obligations on both sides, and the classes teach them that way.
