Coming in September Seed Swap @artfarmfennville
Heirloom, natives and bulbs welcome as we meet outside of the Art Barn here at Art Farm Fennville. Date TBA is rain or shine. Weather goes sideways we’ll host inside and know that masks and social distancing will be our theme. Please note that we will be limited to five people at a time if indoors. The Art Farm went feral this summer without weekly mowing. The Milkweed planted the last three seasons offering a Butterfly Summer Camp. Muslin as tall as the sunflowers and patches of St. Johns Wort bright as a patchwork quilt of native wildcrafted herbs and seasonal summer medicinals Boneset, Fennel, Bee Balm, Red Clover and Calendula. It’s our first year to enjoy the non-mown gardens not lawns premise ala Permaculture influenced embrace of Natives that will offer foragers a place to pick and collect. We’ll water the weeds and enjoy the daily garden harvests and roasted Artisan Coffee Beans until we might offer community centric events again. The season of flower and pollinator has been really something to experience here in #fabulousfennville. The Art Coast has a creative mix of great Art on Display Program (Thank you Detroit Institute of Arts) in downtown Douglas, don’t miss The Button Gallery Garden with sculpture by great metal artists here in our creative community. August Farm Stand staples: tomatoes, cucumbers, purple beans, sunflowers. Look for an announcement for when you can swing by or ping us on insta @artfarmfennville August 2020 we’ll roast Chiapas Mexico Women’s Co-op/Agro Bean and may be able to offer a tasting workshop at the end of next month, stay tuned. Be safe and enjoy the sultry summer days of lovely Southwestern Michigan The unknown nature of our current world make it tough to plan and plot for workshops and class offerings for late summer to early fall. We've got a few bags of Central America coffee that's available as we roast weekly. Curbside pickup with a text.
Stay Tuned won't you, and enjoy the sultry weather safely- social distance ! 
Hipcamp is our fave way to book a spot to Create, Relax, and Explore all of Art Farm Fennville
The Art Coast has cast her spell on Southwest Michigan and #fabulousfennville We're gathering together ingredients for herbal foraging events that will focus upon getting out in the sunshine to gather native plants. Plein Air Painting T.B.A. with local talent. Lucky us, join us won’t you. Look to the saugatuck.com site for events. Keep a good Attitude, we’re all in this together. Workshops on hold for now, but stay tuned @artfarmfennville Flex your creative muscle. Be Great. Create. Found Object. Upcycled. Treasures Bound for the Dump. There’s an added delight to dumpster diving when the things headed to the dump become a viable art centric project and the project ends up looking like a lovely little shack for writers visiting in the summer, or hosting wwoofers needing a respite from Art Farm duties. Traveling to Slipper Island while wwoofing was a highlite of making a little elbow grease and some paint go a long way towards transformation. Slap on some sun screen and see what happens. Here’s a bit of where it all went. Culturally this exchange of barter is alive and well, it’s the backbone of how many of my own projects get done seasonally creatives that arrive at art farm fennville to hone a new outlook, to learn and to share My own adventures in wwoofing have taught me how digging through other peoples’ farm projects on another continent have a similar charm- mixing leftover paints and using stencils with sponged paint the dive shack seen below is got a bit of charm. Where ever I go- My Art du Jour pop-up series of create with junk has found a home in Tairua, NZ at least for the month of February. Nice to tie in with the creative community here on the Coromandel and lend some creative juju to whatever is on the daily duJour of art project. Thank you to the Pepe Reserve Tairua hosting the Saturday sandy stretch workshops while I’m here..
