Friendship Benches

The friendship bench installation is at the heart of our ongoing farm community program. Our goal is to deepen communal relationships through one-on-one conversations and through shared ritual and artistic expression. Art supplies and Motsi Ritual foot soaks will be available to bench visitors.

Saturday June 27, 2026 – 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
