How to Start an Ecological Farm

Thursday, May 18, 2023 · 4:30–6:30 pm

Farming with natural inputs can be challenging, even somewhat daunting. From pest control to fertilizing, this workshop will help take the mystery out of this approach to farming and ease some prior concerns. Patrick Johnson, of Nanih Farm and Garden Inc., will lead the workshop. He will also share some basic business startup concepts with participants.
