Welcome! We are pleased to share Seeds of Solidarity Farm and Education Center programs, resources and inspiration with you. 

We hope to see you at the 28th annual North Quabbin Garlic and Arts Festival on Sept 26/27! Visit the Seeds of Solidarity tent near the main entrance for many varieties of seed garlic, braids, culinary garlic and more! We will also have freshly printed Seeds of Solidarity Grow Food Everywhere tshirts and our book. Farmer Ricky offers garlic growing workshops each festival day at 12PM and 2PM in front of our booth. Cash and check appreciated so there are no credit card fees for hardworking farmers. We may sell out, so buy for friends! (If there is any left after the festival it will be in our farmstand by Sept 30th and until it lasts, but not guaranteed!- we do not do mail order). 

And, we still have one more weekend of events this fall, Oct 24th (volunteer and connect!) and 25th (experiential no-till farming/gardening workshop). Learn more here!

We had a full season of workshops as you will see on a pretty and printable calendar of events along with a now complete for 2026 Women Healing Women Healing Earth series.
