This weekend's workshop:
TURN YOUR LAWN INTO A REAL FOOD SOURCE
February 10 - Instructor: James Sneed, Organic Farmer at Sunbow Farm
James grew his first organic garden when he was three and gardened and learned with his Grandfather for 20 years. For the last 18 years he has survived in the wilds of Alaska gardening and gathering from the wild. He spent last season on Nash Huber's organic farm in Squim WA and is now back in Corvallis, his long lost home base.
Learn from a teacher who has helped people convert traditional yards into food production. Bring a drawing of your yard, a ruler, pencil, eraser, pen and paper. You will leave with a concrete plan created by yourself in consort with James and the class. A workshop for those who really want to have very local food but don't quite know where to start and how to proceed.
