Workshops return at Kula Farm

We are happy to announce that we'll start hosting in person workshops again for small groups of people. Workshops will be free but donations are welcomed. With the workshops, we hope to offer a little relief and inspire you to be creative during these unusual circumstances. On a sunny day, it is an ideal way to boost you vitamin D in our greenhouse. Strict safety precautions will be in place.
The first workshop will be a Nature Printmaking Workshop
Saturday, November 14, 10 – 11:30 am, Free (donations welcomed)
Learn the techniques for relief printing on fabric or paper! Explore design and printing techniques aimed at repeating patterns and nature-inspired compositions. Great for cards and fabric projects! This workshop will introduce beginner techniques to relief printing, exploring papers, inks, textures, and recycled materials.
 
All materials are provided but participants are welcomed to bring reliefs to be printed.
 
Saturday November 14, 10 – 11:30
Kula Farm, 115 Atkins Ave., Asbury Park.

About the Artist
 
Ashley McFarland is a local artist and art educator in New Jersey. She studied art at Montclair State University with a concentration in printmaking. Her work ranges from small illustrations and prints to large scale murals. Much of her work is inspired by nautical and environmental subjects.
 
We require participants to disinfect hands on arrival and wear masks during the workshop. The workshop will be held in our greenhouse with open windows (or outside if it’s a really beautiful day).

THE FRUITS OF OUR LABOR
KEEPING IT LOCAL
FRIDAY FARMSTAND CONTINUES through the winter. Check our website for weekly updates and order by Wednesday for Friday pick-up at the farm between 11-3 or Saturday delivery. We will continue to have salad greens, kale, microgreens and cold hardy vegetables in addition to offering our tinctures and dried culinary and tea herbs.

We had an extremely productive growing season this year in the Kula gardens and greenhouse and provided food to our restaurants, the public and for free to our local community and food pantry every week. Times are tough and we hope to do our part to best serve the community by growing food and providing safe and healthy ecological spaces for the neighborhood. We want to thank everyone who took the time to order from us and come to the farm to pick up their vegetables every week. We love seeing your smiling faces behind your masks!
