Take a deep dive into the ecology of a farm! Camp leader Stephen
Levesque is a farmer, father, permaculture designer, horticultural

Farm to learn about farming, permaculture, foraging, animal
husbandry, mushrooms, fruit trees and more. We use Art and Hands on Activities to bring Nature Connection Alive.
FOUR SEASONS ON THE FARM
A project in development would see participants spend a weekend a month on the farm, observing the different cycles through the seasons. Lessons of in season activities and natural wisdom ​will unfold. Participants are encouraged to bring their knowledge and share their experiences with the group. Hands on skills and experienced will make up the most of the educating process.
​
Pruning, seeding, soil building and harvesting skills to give a few.
COBB TECH SERIES
Using earthen materials we plan to buid a series of projects using Cobb and Cordwood techniques. Adding beautiful artistic features to the farm. Earthen floors, a Cordwood Sauna, and a Cobb Smoker are all dreams yet fulfilled. Summer 2027 will see the begining of the Cordwood Cobb Sauna. A workshop will provide instruction and hands on experince using these age old techniques.
FUNGAL FREEDOM
This annual workshop in its 13th year sees participants learn our local fungal flora. From parts, to types, to identification techniques. Learners will walk away with a deeper knowledge of what our mushroom friends do for our eco systems. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn how to grow a mushroom cultivar at their own property. Learning various cultivation techniques.
