Follow this road approximately 1.5 miles to the first intersection at which point you will see, but not pass a large lake (Mattawa). Turn right onto Chestnut Hill Road. Proceed uphill 1/2 mile to the ” T “. Turn left ( still on Chestnut Hill Rd.). In approx. 1/2 mile the road forks–bear right (still Chestnut Hill –do not take the left fork which is Lower Chestnut Hill!). Continue 3/4 mile. We have two parking areas: one on the left as you approach, or, continue to our farmstand on the left, then turn into our driveway and immediately left to pull into the parking area.  Please note that the house, barn, and parking across the street is our neighbor, not us! Unless you have limited mobility, please park and walk down the driveway if coming for a workshop.

From points north (Athol) turn right onto Wendell Rd. at the yellow blinking light. Follow Wendell Road approximately 3 miles to the end. There is no stop sign, but the road curves sharply to the right, placing you on Neilson Road. Go 1/8 mile and take the first left which is Crowl Road (a dirt road). Go about 1/2 mile, and it becomes Chestnut Hill Road.  You will see the sign for Seeds of Solidarity and our farmstand on the right.  We have two parking areas: turn right down our driveway, just before our farmstand and then immediately left to pull into one parking area, or continue past the farmstand to another parking area on your right.
