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

Early Morning Hands On Special Breakout Sessions
(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 ½ price spaces ($10/ 
person) with the butchering session for observation and instruction -  
first come, first serve sign up for these sessions.
