Farm & Homestead Day at MOFGA is a free, annual, volunteer-run event. The day’s activities center around sustainable living and consist of delicious food and opportunities to learn new skills through hands-on workshops for people of all ages.
To learn more, visit the event’s main page here.
Regular Highlights include:
- Learning to mow with a scythe
- Tool care demonstrations (bring a favorite hand tool from the garden or kitchen to learn tips for keeping the blades sharp and the wooden handles well-oiled)
- Blacksmithing and woodworking workshops
- Tea & crumpets
- Learning to repair small electrical appliances or bicycles (bring one from home that needs attention!)
- A wide variety of fiber arts, including knitting, mending, rug hooking, dyeing with plants, sewing with a treadle machine and much more!
- Gardening workshops
- Cooking workshops
- A potluck lunch featuring stone soup made from locally-sourced ingredients
- Bean hole beans
- A plant swap (please only bring bare root plants to share, in order to limit the spread of jumping worms through soil)
- Music: ukulele, singing, and mixed-instruments! (bring your own ukulele, fiddle, mandolin, drum, etc.)
- And so much more!
