Everyone is invited, and participants will have the chance to volunteer on the farm, learn about the new bees, admire the fruit trees, watch the chickens and ducks in action, and take a tour of the new aquaponic greenhouse. The event will be wrapped up with a campfire, complete with hotdogs and smores.
