SUMMER SESSIONS
In 2023 we are hosting three summer weekends of half day, full day, and multi-day classes at Bald Hill Farm and Highland Woodshop. The classes are taught by local educators, craftspeople, scientists, tradespeople, small business owners, and community members who are all dedicated to our relationships between each other and our environment here in the Willamette Valley.
