Looking back at the 2022 retreat
We started the day with a relaxing yoga class, then gathered with everyone for a coffee chat with Emma and Mary of Lady Farmer. From there we broke out into 75-minute workshops together, discussing topics like teaching intentional design, fermented foods, and stitching embroidery, among others. The first night, we ended with a Community Happy Hour and musical presentation from folk-singer, author, and rancher Eliza Blue.
All weekend long attendees connect with others within the Lady Farmer ALMANAC, our private online community.
