Saturday, June 21st 10:30-11:30am

Farmer and nursery grower, Mark Stonehill, from Full Circus Farm will lead a workshop on growing fig trees right here in New York.  Learn how to choose a fig variety, as well as how to plant, pot up, prune, and overwinter your fig tree.  Propagation by cuttings will also be covered.  Bring your curiosity, questions, and love of figs!

Mark Stonehill and Miriam Goler started Full Circus Farm in Pine Plains in 2014.  After meeting in high school and later apprenticing at Quail Hill Farm in Amagansett and two different draft animal-powered farms in coastal Maine, they found leased land through the Columbia Land Conservancy and started Full Circus.  Mark has been part of education teams at the New York Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Botanic Garden and NYC Parks Dept. before beginning his career in farming.

Full Circus Farm is a certified organic, horse-powered farm in Pine Plains.  In addition to growing vegetables, we have a nursery--growing apple, pear, Asian pear, fig trees, and annual and perennial plants for home gardeners.
