Massaro is pleased to partner with founding Executive Director Caty Poole in bringing you a new adult Sustainable Nutrition Series for 2024.
These monthly classes will integrate the principles of a holistic approach to health, combining what nature has to offer with the science of nutrition and how the food we prepare is a pathway to personal and planetary health.
We will gather once a month - three times each season - to explore regenerative growing practices (enriching the soil after cultivating it), utilizing food and herbs as medicine, and culinary instruction. Together, we will build community with each other and connection to what our rich region has to offer.
Join us for these small group sessions starting in February. Note, advance registration is required. Portions of each class will be made available online in case you cannot attend in person. We strive to make all farm programs accessible for all. If price is still a barrier to your attendance, please reach out to the farm office at 203-736-8618. $35/class or $90/session (or 3 classes).
