BUF Workshop Schedule 2026
Coming soon!
As an educational market garden, we are committed to teaching and helping our neighbors to grow some food. We of course grow food, but mainly to demonstrate regenerative growing techniques and showcase species and varieties that do well in our climate and soils. Achieving local food security will take all of us, not just one urban farm.
Our workshops are tailored for beginners whether they are gardeners, beekeepers, herbalists or fruit growers. This year we have five workshops on the urban farm specifically for kids.
Because space is limited, most of the workshops require pre-registration.
Details of each workshop including cost and a link to register are provided after the schedule table.

Workshop Topics: A = ARK, B = Beekeeping, E=Social Event, F=Cut Flowers, G=Gardening, H=Medicinal Herbs, K=Kids workshop, O=Orchards and Fruit Trees, Fer=Fermentation Workshops
