EDUCATION

Oh, How We've Grown!

New Workshops, a Community Kitchen and More!

by Katrina Goldowsky-Dill, Education Manager



I joined Land’s Sake four years ago, and my first purchase was an additional tent for programming. That year we ran all of our programs with two tents and two port-a-potties. This year we have added an education barn (the former temporary farmstand), four bathrooms, and a kitchen. As our facilities have grown, our programming has too! As of April 16th, we have already run 81 programs, a 55% increase from the 52 we had run by this time last year.

We cannot wait to see what the rest of 2024 will bring, and hope you join us for one of our upcoming programs: an herbal salad dressing workshop on April 27, family farm chores to engage toddlers with animal care, and spaces left in our summer programs!
