An Experiential Learning Program for people wanting to learn to grow their own vegetables
Taking reservations for the 2023 season.


There's so much to learn if you want to know how to grow your own vegetables. Join this small group of individuals in this experiential class with First Light Farm's lead farmer, Jeremy Houston, and learn not only the basics, but how to grow your own vegetables.   Two-three hours on Sunday afternoons, March through October.

You'll grow your own food by learning
soil prep and amendments, seeding and propagation, familiarity with planting, different crops, seasonal cycles, and crop rotation.  You'll also  learn how to use some small equipment, irrigation techniques, weed and pest control, harvest techniques, and how to build a high tunnel.  You will also be able to sell any of your produce at First Light Farm's farm stand. You'll participate in our community of farmers and learn the skills you'll need to become proficient as a grower. Email for cost, details and program description.
