Field Tour & Work Bee with Four Seasons Farm in Maitland, NS

Event Date: Saturday, July 25th

Time: 5:30-8:00 PM AST

Event Address: Four Seasons Farm – 8244 Highway 215, Maitland, NS

Join ACORN at Four Seasons Farm for a farm tour and work-bee focused on organic vegetable production, soil health, and season extension. Family-owned since 1992 and recently transitioned to farmers Kevin Hamilton, Sandra Claudi, and their three children, the farm grows a diverse range of vegetables, herbs, and salad greens on certified organic land. Kevin and Sandra have a combined 40 years of organic vegetable production, and they bring a strong commitment to ecological growing practices.

We’ll tour the farm, learn about their approach to organic farming, and lend a hand with a seasonal farm task while connecting with fellow growers.
