These workshops are deliberately designed to be low tech, home and small farm -scale and emphasize hands-on-learning so that you can easily incorporate these skills into your routine. All demonstrations will send you home with lots of information and samples, when possible. Please peruse the entire schedule - you may want to take more than one! Please bring your lunch, beverages and wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Also, continue to check the website as we are constantly adding workshops, lectures and events.
