Workshops & Twilight Grower Series

May 15th, 6-8 pm – Cooperative Farming at Osamequin Farms

Twilight

Our first collaboration of the season with Young Farmer Night is happening at Osamequin Farm in Seekonk. This Young Farmer Night will be a bit different with us having 4 farms / farm business’s sharing their experiences! We’ll be breaking off into groups at the beginning of the tour to focus on the growers that share land at Osamequin Farm. The 4 Farms that will be highlighted are Hocus Pocus Farm, Apache Blooms, P&L Bayside Apiaries, & Outer Spaces Ecological Landscaping.
During a time where farmland is becoming harder to find, we hope to use a few of this years Young Farmers Nights to highlight alternative ways to land access… one being joining up with a farm like Osamequin to share land with other growers!
Date: Thursday, May 15th
Time: 6:00 – 7:00 Farm Tours
7:00-8:00ish and beyond for potluck, fire, music hang
Address: 80 Walnut St. Seekonk, MA
Accessibility Information: The tour to the 4 farms around Osamequin will be on uneven grassy terrain ranging from a 5-10 minute walk to each farm location. There will also be an option to park and stay in one spot where the potluck/fire will be and where Sarah from Osamequin Farm will be talking about the ways that the land model in Seekonk works.
