Join Cassie for an afternoon and evening of flowers, learning, and genuine connection in the beautiful town of  Corinth, Vermont

The Afternoon: Meet + Learn + Connect

Beginning at 1pm, we’ll start with introductions and time to get to know one another.

Learn

Then we’ll tour the Jig-Bee home field and talk about what’s currently happening on the farm. Learn about the seasonal rhythm of running a flower seed farm in Vermont. We’ll walk through the year month by month—from winter planning and seed sales, to spring sowing and planting, to summer growing, fall harvest, and the busy season of cleaning and packaging seed.

Each workshop will feature a seasonal focus topic:

August 29 - Seed Harvesting + Cleaning - Late summer is seed season, and we’ll dig into the practical side of gathering and processing flower seed. We’ll walk through how I know when seed is ready to harvest, the tools and methods I use, and simple ways to dry, clean, and store seed for future planting or sale. We’ll cover different seed types, common challenges, and tips for keeping seed organized during the busiest time of year. A great session for gardeners, growers, and anyone wanting to save more of their own seed.

Attendees will also get to tag their favorite flower in our breeding beds.

Each session will focus on one featured topic, but there will be plenty of room for questions beyond that topic as well.

Connect

In the spirit of building community, we’ll spend time sharing and supporting one another.

In this portion of the workshop, each participant will have the opportunity to ask the group one question—business, farming, gardening, personal, or anything else on your mind. The group will offer ideas, encouragement, and experiences in return.

Each person will have 5 minutes for their question and group responses (yes, we’ll use a timer!).

Enjoy

We’ll close out the day with a visit to my growing site at Crossmolina Farm. We’ll take a tour of the farm and continue answering your questions about the business of farming and growing fresh flowers and seeds.

We’ll continue the conversation while enjoying a tasty meal and live music at Crossmolina’s world-famous Pizza Night.
