Tour of the Hedgerow – Sat, Oct 5th
Hailey Lampe of Cruising Climate has started a food forest and wants you to come see! Using regenerative methods, Lampe has started converting a 1/2 acre hedgerow into a demonstration, food-producing ecosystem. The space is in the “during” phase of its conversion, meaning you will get to see some of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into creating a farm. Registration is required. Also, please keep in mind this is a working farm- footing is uneven and may be difficult or impassable for folks requiring mobility supports. Email for more information.
Time: 10 am – 12 pm | Location: 3057 7th St, Port Townsend
