Hands-on Practical Classes

Registration For Classes
For more than a decade we have offered hundreds of practical hands-on classes on basic skills for earth-centred living:
  • building with local natural materials (cob, strawbale)
  • growing, harvesting &seed saving from the garden
  • food preservation, fermentation, cold cellaring
  • foraging for wild edibles & medicinal herbs
  • growing & using herbal plants for food & medicine
  • soap making & herbal healing remedies
  • preparing meals from real whole ingredients
  • sourdough & baking in an outdoor wood-fired oven
  • keeping chickens & bees & vermicomposting (worms)
  • mending, sewing, knitting & other hand skills
  • living simply within your means
  • cultivating a slowed-down hands-on life
  • involving children on the homestead!
We believe that in our busy world  many people are longing to find ways to slow down and build deeper connections to the earth, themselves, and their communities.  We hope that our classes can offer skills that encourage this re-connection, and inspire others along their path to greater self-reliance.  

Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 situation we will not be holding our usual hands-on classes here this year.
