Visit
In 2023, we commissioned the Container Barn, an events and education space, production venue, and operations hub for our farm. With this infrastructure, we now offer more ways to visit the farm and learn about local food systems.
-
We host educational and community-based events that highlight local and sustainable food systems and inspire attendees connect with where their food comes from. We frequently collaborate with featured farmers, chefs, artists, and educators to share their wisdom and expertise.
See our events calendar here.
-
We offer pre-arranged tours of the farm and the container barn on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays - tours generally last 90 minutes to 2 hours and include a walk around the farm fields, and a full walk through of the container barn.
We also host field trips and partner with educators to host on-site agricultural curriculum opportunities. If you are an educator interested in bringing students to Burkett Farm, submit an inquiry here.
-
We rely on volunteers to keep the farm going! Whether you’re an individual looking for farm experience, or a group seeking a team building experience, we are happy to welcome your services.
Join us in learning best practices for growing food and flowers while providing food to the food-insecure members of our community.

Join us for our spring plant sale on April 24 and 25.
CLIMATE-SMART DESIGN
The facility was designed and built to be a model of emerging technology in sustainable building systems, energy-efficient systems, and environmentally friendly building practices and materials.
The Container Barn is central to our on-site programming, including hosting volunteers and school groups, tours, workshops, and events. The building also houses a demonstration kitchen, office and meeting space, storage space for farm operations, and a greenhouse.
