SUMMARY:"Backyard Goat Husbandry" with Farmer Dan
DESCRIPTION:Raising and hand milking multi-purpose dairy goats for 20+ years at LDF has been a grand adventure! They learned a lot and grown an abiding respect for the intelligence\, whimsy\, hardiness\, and GENTLENESS… of our caprine cousins. \nTending goats on a small scale is surely a labor of love\, the ultimate rewards of which cannot be simply quantified in mere liters of milk or ounces of cheese… Perhaps therein lies the greatest potential of small-time\, caprine husbandry\, above and beyond their delicious products\, whether compost\, milk\, cheese or meat: the reciprocal nurturance of humans and goats through a deep\, archetypal\, and intuitive partnership that can’t be fully described. \nIn this workshop you’ll meet and interact with the whole herd\, while covering all the practical and esoteric aspects of backyard goat care for an “entry level” audience\, including housing\, feeding\, milking\, breeding\, kidding and more. They will also answer all questions and offer simple instructions on making fresh chèvre and kefir. Farm tour and snacks included. \nSpace limited\, please RSVP here\, or 413-863-8696.\nSuggested donation:$25-35\, no one turned away.

SUMMARY:Grow Food Everywhere for Great Health and Community
DESCRIPTION:Is there anything more important to health and survival than what you eat? In a world plagued by social ills\, disease\, and hunger\, we can all play a role in transforming our lives and communities toward greater health and abundance with fresh\, local food. Take back your power and learn to grow your own food everywhere—from lawns and windowsills to schools and urban lots. \nThis weekend\, through discussion\, contemplative practice\, and plenty of hands-on experience\, we gain skills and techniques to establish gardens and grow delicious food using low-cost local resources\, with minimal maintenance and climate-friendly methods. \nGuided by farmers Ricky Baruc and Deb Habib\, we create beautiful gardens and raised beds\, and learn season-extension practices that prepare us to take the lessons learned immediately into our lives and communities. \nThose new to gardening return home with enough knowledge and skill to grow their own food. Experienced gardeners learn new techniques to enrich their current gardens. We all gain ideas\, methods\, and inspiration to transform our gardening\, communities\, and lives.
