Scheduling a Visit to Growing Home’s Wood Street Urban Farm

Please see the list below to choose the visiting option that works best for you. Note that tours will be guided by one of our farm or job training staff.

Growing Home is a not-for-profit. Please understand that the cost of scheduling tours helps pay for our staff’s time. Additional donations are welcome.

Wednesday Open House

Free

Every first and third Wednesday of the month, visit our Wood Street Farm Open House from 2-4pm.  Farm and program staff give a behind the scenes look at our farm and job training program.  Our weekly open house caters to individuals and small groups.  Groups of five or more should inquire about out our private tours.

Schedule an Individualized Tour

$10/per person, minimum $50

Groups of 5 people or more can schedule a ½-hour tour of the farm.  Please let us know your specific interests when you schedule so we can try to match your tour guide to your interests.

Educational/Institutional Tours

Depending on your needs and our staff’s availability, we’d be excited to host your student group (elementary through graduate school) or group from another educational, research, or public institution.
