Throughout the weekend, guests will be immersed in hands-on experiences rooted in tradition and wonder. You’ll learn the art of making butter from scratch, stitch together a hand-sewn apron meant for real work and real beauty, and explore the full, magical process of creating goat milk soap—from pasture to bar.
