Farm Tour & Lunch
Visit Quail Springs Permaculture Farm and learn about growing food in the high desert, tending a variety of wonderful food-giving animals, creating shelter, and stewarding agricultural lands and wilderness. Enjoy a delicious homegrown lunch prepared in our earthen ovens, and check out our new Quail Springs store! We close the tour with a discussion and ideas for nurturing community and incorporating sustainable practices into your daily life, be you urban, rural, or beyond!
10am Saturday Arrival to 10am Sunday Departure
Want to stay overnight? Take the farm tour and then stay for an evening of food, music and fireside stories.
See above, and continue with an afternoon goat walk and accompanying wilderness and native plant talk for kids and adults. For dinner we make the tastiest earthen oven pizza you’ve ever had, tell spooky (and not so spooky) campfire stories and play wonderful music, 8'oclock breakfast the following day (see early morning break-out options), break camp and depart at 10am.

(6 - 7:45AM Sunday morning)
Introduction to milking: Learn the basics of milking from our beloved goats Fava, Fennel, Gemstone, Greta, and Honey, and get some great mentoring from our awesome farm team in animal husbandry and small scale dairy management.
Introduction to Butchering: We feel that it is a powerful act to be in an honoring relationship with the food giving animals that sustain us, and the process that we use to bring them to the table. Learn the basics of butchering from our experienced farm managers and bring awareness and respectful ceremony into this often invisible and questionable aspect of food production.
There are a limited number of spaces for these break-out sessions, and they will run only if we fill the session. Please inquire and book this early. We are limiting these sessions to 3-4 people for milking, 5 people for hands-on butchering and 5 more ˝ price spaces ($10/person) with the butchering session for observation and instruction - first come, first serve sign up for these sessions.
