Smithereen Farm hosts workshops in collaboration with our sister organization, Greenhorns.

  • Greenhorns offers free and low-cost events for the benefit of the local and regional community. If you are able to donate beyond the affordable cost of a workshop, or if you enjoy a free event, consider making a tax deductible donation to Greenhorns to support the actual costs of this and future programming so we can keep these accessible. Thank you!
  • Workshops require advance registration; follow the registration link within the workshop description.
  • Coming for an event and want to stay a while? You can book a campsite at the farm.
  • REFUND POLICY Due to our rural location and small event sizes workshop registrations are not refundable.
