As the tell-tale signs of spring emerge around Grace Farms’ 80 acres of meadows and woodlands, including hillsides of crocuses and the noticeable presence of wildlife, our year-round programming also takes a cue from nature. Spring launches a full schedule of programming related to experiencing nature, encouraging the arts, fostering community, pursing justice, exploring faith, and advancing Design for Freedom, a movement to removed forced labor from the built environment. Admission to our public space is free and we are open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 am – 5 pm, and Sundays, 12 – 5 pm. We are closed on Mondays. Feature photo by Julian Jarry.
Below are highlights of the upcoming spring season.
