  • sewing rope coil baskets; 
  • making reusable beeswax food wraps;
  • and more...

We'll feed you a hearty healthful lunch in Little City Farm homegrown style (eat delicious foods as we would make for our family, and learn how to make these foods at home yourself): wood-fired organic vegetarian pizzas, freshly-picked garden salad with edible flowers & herbs, and homemade pickles & lacto-fermented krauts, fruity kombucha; plus hearty homegrown snacks, herbal teas and organic wholegrain baked treats throughout the day.
