For a truly local, sustainable food supply, we need more farmers. Participants will get an up-close and hands-on snapshot of skill- and knowledge to be a small scale farmer (10 acres or less). The class includes: crop planning, irrigation systems, soil fertility (animal management, cover cropping, composting, etc), orcharding, farm tools and machinery, marketing/sales, and plant propagation/greenhouse management. If you are thinking about farming or want to have a home garden that serves as a food supply for your family, this is a great place to start!
Snacks and drinks will be provided. Please bring a bag lunch.
Wear clothes and shoes that can be worn into the field.
Bring a water bottle, hat, sunscreen and garden gloves.
