Watercolor Workshop & Rare Tomato Tasting at Hope Acre Farm

Join us for a unique experience at Hope Acre farm, offered once a month during the harvest season. Taste a selection of heirloom tomatoes before learning to watercolor your favorites with local artist and watercolor teacher, Hannah Day.
This year, Hope Acre is growing over 140 varieties of tomatoes – more than ever before. With rare titles like “Indigo Blueberry” and “Rebel Star Fighter”, your tasting will include a wide range of flavor profiles, tomatoes that look identical but taste opposite, and that come in all shapes and colors. Your tomatoes will be served with local bread and cheese, and presented with passionate musing by farmer Jai, whose knowledge is expansive and excitement is infectious.
After your tasting, you’ll spend time looking even closer at your favorite selections of the farm’s yield. Seated in the farm’s lush outdoor space, instructor Hannah Day will walk you step by step through rendering your subjects with close observation, foundational drawing skills, and a unique approach to watercolor technique. With a mix of demonstration and individual instruction, artists of all experience levels can walk away with a meaningful creative experience.
