Winter at Gracie's Farm

Venture to the cozy Broadfork Barn for an experiential art class that uses natural dyes derived from pigment-rich flowers and seeds. Learn to hand-dye a silk scarf using old world pressing and steaming techniques that extract the plant-based dyes for optimal color saturation. While you wait for your scarf to cure, learn about the regenerative farming techniques that our talented team of female FarmHers use at Gracie’s Farm year-round. When your bespoke work of art is complete, take home a unique and colorful memento of your time spent at Blue Sky.

Sip a fresh herbal tea while learning the history and technique of tea making in the warmth of our Broadfork Barn. You’ll get to concoct your own custom tea blend to sip on and take home. The farm offers both fresh and dried herbs all year, and the winter is a great time to create a tea blend made specifically for you.

Create your own custom salve to soothe dry, cracked skin. Choose ingredients such as dried wildflowers, herbs and custom oil blends to make your own bespoke recipe to nourish your skin. While cozied up in the Broadfork Barn, learn about the salve making process, about what our team of FarmHers grow in the winter months and how we extend the longevity of Utah’s short growing season during the cold winter months.
