Join us on an educational walking tour of our diversified food production farm. Folks will explore the sights, smells, sounds, textures and tastes of our farm through an interactive tour. We will share insights into our organic vegetable production, perennial food systems, native plant sanctuary, permaculture design, and the history of our unique farm. In this tour we take a deep dive into Gateway Farm's approach to a sustainable and resilient food system, and share the reason why we chose this approach. At the end of the tour each participant will have the opportunity to taste the flavors of our farm through complimentary iced herbal tea and botanical cookies, as well as access to organic produce, farm swag and other offerings from local growers and makers sold at our on-site farm stand.
Check out tickets for the next tour date here.
This year we are excited to launch our Kids Farm Tours! These are will be happening on the same dates as listed above. This hands-on educational tour is geared towards curious kids aged 6-12 and their parent or caregiver. Together, we’ll explore our farm and answer questions like: What really happens on a farm? What is permaculture? Where does our food come from, and why does it matter? We’ll walk the farm together, play games to learn about food and ecology, and maybe even get to dig in to soil. Guardian attendance is mandatory.

Come ready to listen and explore, with closed-toed shoes and weather-appropriate attire.

Gateway Farm 2023 Workshops
All workshops will be held at Gateway Farm - 10540 Joy Rd. Plymouth, MI
We will be offering a wide range of learning opportunities on the farm this year!
Plant Walks: Plant walks are more specific and focused than educational tours. Each plant walk is led by an experienced teacher/grower and centers on a different topic. Topics include: Medicinal Herbs, Native Plants, Perennial Foods, Foraging, and more.
Hands-On Workshops: Workshops are designed to be deep dives into all things food and farm. Each workshop hones in on one topic, and will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary for doing it all again in your own business, home, garden or kitchen. Join an expert and get your hands dirty here at Gateway. Workshop topics include: Cooking/Fermenting/Food Preservation, Organic Gardening, Foraging, Cut Flower/ Bouquet Making, Permaculture, Native and Pollinator Gardening, Perennial Food/ Food Forest Gardening, Horticultural Therapy and much more.
June and July Workshops are now live!
Other Events on the Horizon...
We have worked hard over the last 6 years to send high quality, nutrient-dense food out into the community. This year we expand our offerings and invite you onto the farm for high quality, nutrient-dense experiences! Here are a few of the offerings coming your way:
Story Time: Come join us on the farm as we read a new farm, food, or nature-themed story! We’ll explore what makes farms and food so special to our local environment and community. After a group story time with activities, we’ll take a walk through the farm and apply what we’ve learned. More details coming soon.
Fireside Chats: Join a local expert by the fire pit for an intimate conversation about what they’ve dedicated their career to. Soak up some knowledge and ask experts your burning questions about ecology, food production, the future of food, social/environmental justice, and more, all while cozy by the campfire. More details coming soon.
Farm to Table Tastings and Dinners: Join a local chef / restaurant for an evening of music and dinner featuring Gateway produce. More details coming soon.
