🌿 Workshops at Fulton Community School & Farm

At Fulton Community School & Farm, we believe in the power of learning by doing — with our hands in the soil, food in the oven, and curiosity leading the way. Our seasonal workshops are designed for children, adults, and families to connect more deeply with nature, food, and sustainable living.  Whether you’re an adult looking to build new skills or a parent seeking enriching activities to share with your child, our school and farm is a place to explore, learn, and grow.

We are looking forward to these offerings in the coming year — check back soon for a full calendar and registration details!
