DAMASCUS, PA –  Farm Arts Collective continues its ongoing 2025 workshop series on farming, food, and ecology.  On Sunday, July 6 at 12pm, join farmers Greg Swartz and Tannis Kowalchuk, owners of Willow Wisp Organic Farm, for an in-depth tour of the 25 acre Willow Wisp Organic Farm located in Damascus. 

Greg and Tannis were named “Farmers of the Year” in 2023 by Northeast Organic Farming Association of NY, and they will share 17 years of farming experience.  The walking tour will cover soil management practices, methods of irrigation specific to the farm, vegetable and herb production, cut-flower production, methods of post-production handling, greenhouse versus field production, and much more. The workshop is rain or shine.

This tour and workshop is designed for people interested in working their land, serious gardeners, and those with a general interest in organic farming practice.  The tour will be followed by a farm-fresh lunch when Greg and Tannis can answer questions and have a conversation with participants.  Please reserve your place at the tour and lunch table by going online to the calendar at www.farmartscollective.org/.

This event is a pay-what-you-can event at the door. For more information contact: Tannis Kowalchuk at  Tannis@farmartscollective.org.
