A genuine working permaculture garden. Growing food in a dry climate while reforesting and storing rainwater reflects real sustainable practice, not a demonstration plot.
A creative workshop most farm tours don’t offer. Choosing from watercolor, cyanotype, natural tincture, mandalas or clay lets you leave with a genuinely personal, nature-inspired keepsake.
Free-range chicken interaction. A relaxed, hands-on moment with the garden’s chickens adds real charm to the visit.
