​

Casual Lunch
After the tour, we’ll slow down for a casual, farm-style picnic with good food and good company. Anjie from The Spritz Food Truck has been serving farm-to-table food inspired by the seasons since 2023. Enjoy cheeses, meats, fruit, and fresh bread by the creek as we get ready to create.

​

Bouquet-Making Workshop
We’ll walk you through exactly how to build a hand-tied bouquet using flowers from the farm. You’ll learn the basics of color, texture, movement, and design - and you’ll have plenty of time to make something that’s uniquely yours.
