Free Holiday Homestead Series
Skydog Farm has transformed their 1,800 sq ft botanical greenhouse into a Holiday Oasis that is open to the community Saturdays 12-4pm and by appointment throughout November and December.
This is the third year that owners, Mark Phillips and Katherine Fotiades, have opened their greenhouse for the winter season.
“It is an honor to be able to offer an alternative to the holiday hustle and bustle that we can so easily become overwhelmed by.
Being in a warm sunny greenhouse with natural beauty helps to sooth the senses and invites us to step out of the chaos and into the present moment. Our hope is to provide a local shopping experience that is both uplifting and serene.” says Katherine Fotiades.
Skydog Farm continues to inspire their community to reconnect to the Arts of Home & Hearth by adding a Holiday Homestead Series to this year’s Winter Greenhouse Schedule.
Their Fall Series was very well received and the Holiday series will offer cooking and seasonal DIY botanical craft demonstrations.
Demos are free and will be held at 1:00pm on Saturdays during their normal operating hours throughout November and December.
The Holiday Series will culminate with a Gingerbread House contest and extended hours for a special candlelit evening on Saturday December 18th
The entry fee for the contest will be a donation to a local charity (TBD).
Please register for individual demos and/or contest. Space is limited.
Skydog Farm also offers a flexible year round CSA farm share program where you can save up to 25% off market price on their hydroponic leafy greens and herbs.
You have a choice of a large or small package, four or twelve weeks and pickup at Skydog Farm or at Farm Fresh RI’s Sims Winter Market in Providence, Saturdays 9-1pm.
By supporting a “pick to order” farm model you not only secure your weekly share of fresh produce, you also reduce food and packaging waste and strengthen the local food system.
