Visit us at the Farm
Visiting Sweet Beet Farm is a great way to learn about how food can be grown in a reciprocal relationship with nature, dive into our local food system, and get up close with the ecosystems that sustain us.
Our farm tours are tailored to the interests of our visitors; choose the one that’s right for you or your group:
Farm Tours for Farmers (1.5 hours)
For aspiring, beginner, or experienced farmers that want to learn details about the techniques and methods we use at Sweet Beet Farm in order to apply those methods themselves. We will get into the nitty-gritty of selecting the right tools, why and how we do the things we do, and what resources helped us most along the way. This tour includes recommendations for foundational texts and online resources.
Base Rate: $20 per person, or $100 for groups with 5 or fewer people; check out our sliding scale for other tuition options.
Farm Tours for Community Members (1.5 hours)
For anyone curious about our small, regenerative, organic farm. While touring our heated nursery, packing shed, high tunnels, and fields, we will discuss what it means to be a market garden, why we chose that model, and how and why we grow food using regenerative methods.
Base Rate: $15 per person, or $75 for groups with 5 or fewer people; check out our sliding scale for other tuition options.
