Our workshops take place inside and outside. Please come dressed for the elements and be prepared to get your hands dirty. We’re going to show you exactly what we do and give you opportunities to try it yourself.

Plan to arrive from 8:45-9am. We will start promptly at 9am. 

We aim to wrap up by 4pm, but please allow for some flexibility.

Accomodations:

If you need to book accommodations, there are a number of inns, b&bs, and Airbnbs, etc. in our area. The towns closest to us are Fayston, Warren, and Moretown. Montpelier is a small city about a half hour away.

1. The Warren Lodge Just a few miles away from the farm. 

2. White Horse Inn Just a few miles away from the farm.

3. The Swanson Inn Just a few miles away from the farm. 

4. Clay Brook Hotel Just a few miles away within Sugarbush Resort.

5. Airbnb is also an option. There are a number of local listings with availability. We encourage you to try to stay in the Mad River Valley, which is made up of the following towns: Waitsfield, Fayston, Warren, & Moretown. If you choose to stay farther afield in Montpelier or Waterbury, you will have a half hour drive from either town to the farm. 

Car Rentals:

Vermont is a small state with LIMITED car rental availability, especially during fall foliage season (Tulip Workshop participants). We recommend that you reserve a vehicle before you arrive if you’re flying in. The earlier, the better! We have had students run into difficulty finding last minute rental cars upon arrival in the airports.

If you arrive in Waitsfield early, there are a couple of great spots to check out in town:

1. Lawson's Finest Liquids- A great place for a local brew. Located right off route 100 in the heart of Waitsfield.

2. The Mad Taco- A great place for lunch or a quick bite. Located off of route 100 in the shopping complex.

3. Canteen Creemie- Insane creemies, as well as snack bar fare. Located off of route 100 in the same shopping complex as the Mad taco.

4. The Taste Place- Another great place for a local drink, amazing selection of local cheeses and charcuterie. In the heart of Waitsfield just off route 100.

5. Mehuron's Supermarket- You can pretty much find what you are looking for here. Located in the same shopping complex as the Mad Taco and Canteen Creemie. (You’ll also find Emily’s flowers for sale there!)
