Join us for a morning of learning and hands-on work as we create permanent no-till market garden beds at Sunray Community Farm.
Whether you are interested in growing food in a backyard garden, community garden, homestead, or small farm setting, the principles we'll explore can be adapted to a wide range of scales and growing spaces.
The morning will begin with a short introduction to the in-development farm, our growing philosophy, and an overview of no-till bed preparation. We will then dive into the demonstration bed, and continue to build beds together while discussing soil health, weed management, bed design, tools, and practical considerations for establishing productive growing spaces.
This workshop is designed to be interactive, but participation in physical tasks is entirely optional. Attendees are welcome to take part in the work, observe demonstrations, ask questions, and engage at whatever level feels comfortable and appropriate for their abilities.
Following the workshop, we will gather for a simple seasonal vegetarian lunch featuring ingredients inspired by local harvests.
Date: Saturday, August 1st, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM workshop, followed by lunch
Location: Sunray Community Farm, 411 Wemple Road, Glenmont, NY 12077
Attendance: Limited to 8 participants to allow for discussion and individualized instruction.
Come ready to learn, connect with fellow growers, and gain practical knowledge you can bring home to your own garden or growing project.
What to Bring & Farm Conditions
Please come prepared to spend time outdoors. We recommend bringing plenty of drinking water, a hat, sunscreen or other sun protection, and a pair of work gloves. Basic tools will be provided for participants, though you are welcome to bring a favorite gardening tool to use, share, or show off during the workshop.
Please note that Sunray Community Farm is currently in the early stages of development and remains largely unimproved farmland. At this time, there are no restroom facilities on the farm itself. However, a portable restroom is available for participants at the barn located across the street from the farm. We appreciate your flexibility as we continue building the farm's infrastructure and community spaces.
We believe educational opportunities should be accessible. If cost presents a barrier to participation, please reach out. We may be able to offer a reduced-cost registration when space allows.
