Urban Farm School - Garden Essentials Class - 4.14.2009

The busy gals over at the Urban Farm School have a great food producing garden class coming up next Tuesday for all of you dirt diggers out there. Here's the scoop from Kendra & Toree:

Good afternoon, everyone!

We are happy to be partnering with Ecolution NW again to provide a fabulous and intimate space to hold our next class, "Just One Thing: Essentials for the Year-round Garden." We will be focusing on the three or four tips and tricks that should be done in the garden each season to make it a healthier and more productive food producer for you and your family. This is a "conversation" class. Have questions about your garden that you need answers to? Bring them along! We are excited to build a community of gardeners while focusing on your particular needs during this busy time of year.

We look forward to seeing you next Tuesday night!

So You Want To Be A Farmer Take II - UPDATE

Last week I told you that David Knaus from Fresh Earth Gardens would be teaching a Modern Organic Farming Methods class at the Old Poor Farm on 78th. I promised I'd let you know as soon as there was more information available so here's the lowdown on the class.

Modern Organic Agriculture Class

Also, David has a very nice new web site up and running. I've updated the Fresh Earth Gardens link in the Local Farms section on the lefthand sidebar, but you can also visit the site by clicking here.

While you're there, check out the Opportunities page of his site. He's looking for interns/apprentices to work at his farm. This would be a unique opportunity to get a serious hands-on education from David.

Modern Organic Farming Class or So You Want to Be a Farmer Take II

This just in....

David Knaus, proprietor of Fresh Earth Gardens and one of Clark County's young agricultural pioneers, just informed me that he will be teaching a ten week course on modern organic farming methods at the old Poor Farm location on NE 78th. The course will run from January-March. This class will be an excellent primer for everyone from veteran farmers looking to learn some new/old tricks to novices who are thinking about starting their own farm. More details will be coming soon...

Cool stuff happening here folks! Stay tuned for further updates!
