Learn with Singing Frogs Farm

Join us for a Hands-On Workshop!

  • Seasonal Home Farmer Series

    Ready to elevate your home garden and grow bountiful food?

    Our new seasonal workshop series focused on gardeners (aka home farmers) who are getting their gardening going or leveling it up. 

    This is a three part series, growing for Spring, Summer and Autumn. Each of these sessions will give you general no-till farming knowledge as well as seasonal specific details. AND with each session we’ll send you home with a flat worth of veggie starts (30-50) to fill your garden with plants we grow and we germinate in our own nursery.

    Spring Session - March 15th

    Summer Session - April 26th

    Autumn Session - September 6th

    We highly recommend all three as they are intended to support one another. 

    Cost: $300 each or $750 for the all three!

    Limit: 16 people per session

  • Intensive One Day Living Soils Workshop

    You’ve been farming but want to dig into Singing Frogs No-Till?

    Spring 2025 we’ll continue our popular intensive, hands-on workshops to level up your farming and living soil! We’ve had over 200 farmers and serious gardeners attend.

    We will dive into the science and mechanics behind our multi-award winning, no-till, agroecological, intensive and profitable farming methods. Build your ecology, both above and below ground. Learn how to farm with (and for) Mother Nature. Understand how, in using these natural systems, you too can increase your soil organic matter, crop nutrient density, and productivity.

    March 11th

    April 22nd (EarthDay!)

    Cost: $395 per person. There are, a few scholarships for new, small-scale farmers. Inquire with your farming experience.

    Limit: 20 people per workshop

  • Climate Farm School

    Want to dive deep but generally into Regenerative Agriculture?

    We love collaborating with the Climate Farm School program. This is an experiential learning program for adult professionals looking to learn about regenerative agriculture, climate action and food systems. In addition to online classes about regenerative agriculture and the food-climate nexus, participants spend a week living on a regenerative farm working and learning alongside farmers, diving into food systems topics, and cooking and eating with a resident farm-to-table chef. This course is for anyone who wants to build community, connect with food and the land, and find their role in the growing movement to transform the food system.

    Their courses at Green Valley Farm feature a 3/4-day no-till veggie farming workshop with us at Singing Frogs Farm lead by our fabulous farmers plus many other farm stops in our farming diverse community.

    2025 Courses March 14 online April 14-19 in person & TBD later in the season here plus many more sessions on Central CA, New York, Italy and Ireland.

Other Ways to Learn

  • Public Tours

    Join us for an informative Spring Public Farm Tour which will reveal the intricate web of life that has been created on our multi-award winning biodiversity farm.

    The tours are for our community members and customers who want to connect with their food and learn about growing in concert with, rather than negatively impacting, our ecosystem.

    We will be advertising at Farmers’ Markets and via our CSA.

    Cost: $10 per person. CSA Members Free.

    For more of a how-to-farm we strongly recommend our workshops. We will not get into this detail on our tours.

    Note: These are adult education focused with a lot of science and data. Kids welcome but unfortunately not the focus.

  • Private Tours

    This is for self-organized groups of farmers, gardeners, educational organizations or those simply looking for an exciting, informational, and inspiring Farm Tour.

    Private Farm Tours last between 90 minutes and 2 hours, with in depth discussion about our farming systems and plenty of time in the second half of the tour to ask all your burning questions.

    Cost: Private Farm Tours are $250-$300 sliding scale for 1-20 people.

    For more information or to book a Tour email us. In your message, please tell us a little bit about yourself → where you’re from, what you’re growing, what are your challenges, and how you heard about us.

  The Best Farming Education is Hands-On!

We know that regenerating soil health holds some of the greatest potential for solving this century’s issues of climate change, erosion, drought, malnutrition, clean water, poverty, economic self-sufficiency, food security, and more. 

We are passionate about engaging farmers, policy makers, and all people who eat food on the importance of health soil and the meant so regenerating that health while intensively producing bounteous, high quality food for us humans and more resilient and robust ecological systems.

Our mission is to educate broadly while focusing our greatest efforts on sharing our experiences, challenges, and successes with other farmers and farmer trainers. 

We recognize that many backyard gardeners and homesteaders are also interested in learning more about agroecological intensive no-till farming, and for you we offer a variety of Hands-on Workshop[s, Consultations, and Private Farm Tours (see more below). For our local community and CSA members, we also offer occasional Public Farm tours.

We support a variety of schools and non-profits who visit Singing Frogs Farm regularly for our in depth, scientific and inspiring Farm Tours. From hosting non-profit gatherings at our farm to hosting grade school through graduate school groups, we welcome the opportunity to share and inspire. 

*If you are a beginning or production farmer and money is tight, we understand and want to make things work for you. Please contact us and let’s talk! 

Hear from folks who have learned from Singing Frogs Farm 💬

 “As beginning farmers, we visited over 50 farms in our search for a model.  As soon as we saw Singing Frogs Farm a light bulb went off in our heads.  Using Paul and Elizabeth’s farming model we have transformed our small urban farm into an ecologically and economically sustainable operation.  We have witnessed first hand the positive effects of working with nature to grow more nutrient dense produce for our community.  We are so fortunate to have met such amazing farmers, educators, activists and all around great people to inspire us as we 'grow' as beginning farmers.”

"Singing Frogs Farm should be a teaching lab. It so inspires!"
