Workshops + Consulting
Workshops + Consulting Services
Workshops: Beyond the yearly apprentice curriculum, we have presented workshops on a number of topics. Justin and Paige focus on different aspects of the farm and together make a great team to convey information. If you’re interested in having Paige and/or Justin speak to your group or for your conference, please contact us at info@serenbefarms.com. We enjoy speaking and participating in conferences and educational opportunities. We feel our strong suit is combining science with practical farm applications in an organized fashion.

Consulting Services: Farmers and gardeners must be good at planning. If you need help with starting or reaching potential on any scale from 20 sq ft to 20 acres, contact us for information about our consulting services.
Successful projects include school gardens, community gardens, farms inside developments, and home gardens. Paige has also been a Georgia Organics mentor for 5 years — helping over 8 farmers get a good start. In addition to mentoring, we’ve seen over 10 of our 15 apprentices move on to permanent farm work, 8 actually owning or managing successful farm operations.
