NOTE: Sadly we are canceling our last community workday at Yara Farm. A recent round of team illness has made the choice for us! We encourage all workday registrants and community members to attend the Rise & Root Vampire Garlic Planting & Movie Night which is located super close to Yara. Costumes encouraged!

Come join other vampire farmers to learn how to grow garlic at Rise & Root Farm. Stay for movie night on the farm afterwards...
Join us to learn how to grow garlic - when to plant, when to harvest, how to cure and store, seed keeping and more. Since we’re doing this on the eve of Halloween, come in vampire costume to make garlic planting even more fun than it already is! Together we will plant the stinking rose in style. Stay for dinner (provided) and then farm movie night in the Rise & Root Farm event space.
Although the upcoming Regional Workday has been canceled, we encourage you to continue to support and learn about Yara Farm:
Yara Farm is a Queer Black and Latine farm dedicated to sustainable land stewardship, food access, and creating community. Join us in Middletown, NY to lend a hand in their fields and plant garlic. Meet our farm teams, connect with the land, and learn more about our farming practices through hands-on activities for all experience levels. Lunch provided!
About Regional Community Workdays:
Every year we invite our community to join us on the farm, meet our farm team, connect with the land, and learn more about our farming practices through hands-on activities for all experience levels. This year while the farm is under construction we are sharing the love and support with other farms in our local ecosystem. We invite you to join our farmers in traveling to the host farms to volunteer, experience an educational tour, and share a catered meal together.
