For the most local brunch possible, come to the farm to collect your own eggs and veggies and then enjoy a delicious brunch prepared by Codman’s Chef Tilli. This is a combination walking tour of the farm, hayride to egg collection, vegetable harvest and finally brunch. We’ll start by harvesting veggies in our no-till market garden and then boarding a hay wagon to our laying hen pasture to collect freshly laid eggs. You’ll get hands-on experience and the chance to ask lots of questions and see how we produce our delicious food up close. Class includes all materials needed. Comfortable walking shoes and sun hats are encouraged.
