Moving forward with an idea is always a scary prospect. Often the excitement overcomes the fear and we press on. That is what we have done here. Inspired by the Smallholding Schools of Europe, and the Folk Schools of the US we really wanted to have one here.
We have come to know so many interesting, talented, and very smart people that we wanted to learn more from them. So we offered up our little farm for them to teach what they do best. We feel very privileged that our friends, mentors, and teachers are coming here to teach. These people are good, really good, some of the best!
Both Tim and I, Jennifer will be teaching some courses too. We have our own specialties that we are good at. If Permaculture has taught us anything it's that it takes more than one person to make things work. We know that there is a lot to learn in so many subjects that one can never know it all so we are not going to try.
Please check out our courses and the teachers that are teaching them. If you have an idea for a course please let us know. Our interests are broad and learning is life long.
