Grow MORE of your own food - Spring, Summer, and Fall Gardening Workshop Series

From our friends at Living Lands Agrarian Network:

The Living Lands Agrarian Network (www.livinglandsagrariannetwork.org) is offering an eight-part workshop series for the second year in a row. The goal is to teach people to grow more of their own food throughout the four seasons. In these workshops we shadow the farming season as practiced by the various sites of the Living Lands Agrarian Network. From our farmers you will learn about planting schedules, bed preparation, home composting methods, site selection, food preparation and preservation techniques and much more. Throughout the workshop season we will tour our different farm sites while learning practical ways of growing food on a home-scale. Each workshop will end with a farm-fresh lunch prepared by In The Kitchen (www.wendyvanwagner.com).  >> read more
