Strawberry Moon Solstice Celebration

Reunite with the natural rhythm of the seasons at Sweet Olive Farm.

Join us on Saturday, June 22nd, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a rejuvenating day of crafting, feasting, and reconnecting with nature. 

Celebrate the Summer Solstice and the Strawberry Full Moon. The Summer Solstice marks the peak of the sun's yearly journey and the height of the growing season. It is a time to collect and reflect with the community. 

The $185 per person experience includes:

- 2-hour intensive introduction to indigo dye. We will discuss the history of indigo, the plant, and the process. We will explore traditional folding methods such as shibori and include various forms of fabric manipulation for dyeing. 

Each participant will receive an instructional handout and three cotton tea towels to experiment with in our dye vats. (You are also welcome to bring one piece of natural fabric from home to dye.) 

- A Farm-fresh vegetarian meal crafted with locally sourced ingredients.

- Solar Solstice Herbalism: Chinese 5 Element

In this hands-on workshop, we will sip hand-blended teas and explore astrological herbalism through the lens of the Chinese Five Element. We'll delve into solar-ruled plants—their traits, bodily uses, and connecting to your inner sun. Draw in the summer solstice as we formulate our own celestial herbal blends. Each participant will be provided with raw herbs to formulate their own solstice-inspired tea blend to nourish for the season. 

  -We will conclude the day with a farm tour of Sweet Olive 

For those wishing to extend the magic, a limited overnight option is available for $85 per person, including:

- Cozy accommodations on one of the properties’ farmhouses

- Solstice bonfire celebration to conclude the day

- Herbal cocktails and snacks in the evening  

- Sunday morning tea and coffee with local pastries and farm activities - you are welcome to help us feed the animals and enjoy the farm!
