Make sure to sign up for our September Experience the Mystic Valley Events before spots fill up!
On September 15th, participants will gather at the house of Denise VandeWalle on the river outside of Del Norte for a Spa-Day & DIY Self-Care Workshop. Throughout the afternoon, you will learn how to easily prepare luxurious foot soaks, facials, and other spa products entirely from plant-based ingredients. At the end of the day, you will head home refreshed with a few products in-hand to use later on. Tickets for this workshop cost $100, and all proceeds will go directly to benefit the RIo Grande Farm Park. The event will take place from 1 to 5 PM, and food and beverages will be provided. Space is limited!
Just a few days later, on the 18th, you have the chance to learn how to properly bake sourdough bread from a seasoned professional! Jessica Larriva of Tumbleweed Bread will be giving participants a hands-on opportunity to see all of the steps it takes to make a great sourdough loaf. At the end of the evening, everyone will depart happily with a sourdough culture of their own and a ready-to-bake loaf in-hand. Join Jessica in the home of Allison Cruse from 5-7 PM that evening. Tickets are $75, and space is limited.
John and Emma Reesor are opening their home up for a sauna night under the stars on September 20th. Refresh the body and relax the mind in one or more rounds in the log-cabin sauna. Enjoy fruit and tea blends beforehand, and some finger food afterwards. Be sure to bring two big towels. Space is limited for this $40 event.
On the 23rd join Rio Grande Farm Park manager Jesse Marchildon for dinner, made with produce from the Park and other local places. You will hear the unique perspective he has about regenerative agriculture, how these practices are being implemented at the Farm Park, and how you can do the same in your own garden. Join us from 6-9 PM that evening in the Mount Blanca room of the San Luis Valley Health Education and Conference Center. The cost for this event is $69, and all dietary restrictions and preferences will be taken into account when you register.
Experience the Mystic Valley with various events running through November 23rd. Support the continued growth of the local food movement by signing up for these events at our website riograndefarmpark.org and click on the events tab.
Once again, all proceeds will directly support the staff and continuing programs at the Rio Grande Farm Park! ... See MoreSee Less
