Join us for climbing, feasting, farming, and learning at the Sequatchie Cove Farm for the weekend of October 13-15. We will help harvest corn, grind it by hand, and make beautiful food from traditional methods. We will hear from climbers Kate Rutherford, Miguel, and Mariana Casar about their work to make the world a better place, we will learn about soil science, and have a panel discussion on local and federal farming policy work. We will have a farm tour and get some work done on the farm before heading out to all climb together and of course, we will feast on all local organic meals paired with appropriate adult and na beverages!
