Yoga on the Farm this June!

Wed June 4 & 11, 9-10am | $15 Member, $20 Non-Member

Connect with your body and the earth, with yoga outside on the farm!  Laurel Kulow will guide you through a hatha-style class, focused on basic postures and alignment, with some flow between poses. Connecting each movement to breath, you’ll leave feeling more grounded, present, and energized for the day. This class is for all levels - beginners encouraged to join! Yoga mat / towel recommended.

EDUCATION

Summer Programs for Children in Grades K-12

Limited spots available -- sign up today!

There are still some spots available for amazing summer experiences on the farm. Participants will spend a fun-filled week (or more!) connecting with nature, exploring farm habitats, and caring for our farm animals and education garden. Farm internships available for 9-12th graders!

FARM

NEW! More Mulching with the Mulcher!

Land's Sake was awarded a generous grant to purchase a Row Mulcher through the Climate Smart for Agriculture Program of the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources. Spreading mulch by hand is one of the most time-consuming jobs on the farm! Does mulch make a big difference? In a side by side trial of garlic beds, the mulched beds yielded taller plants, bigger bulbs, and higher overall yield. Here's to more mulching!
