Ecology Action Research Min-Farm/Garden Tours:
May 22, June 5, June 19, & August 7
Our Willits site is a working Research Mini-Farm, and our busy staff is not able to accommodate drop-in visitors. The site is open to the public only on scheduled dates.
These four 5- to 6-hour Ecology Action Research Mini-Farm/Garden Tours give a good introduction to GROW BIOINTENSIVEŽ sustainable mini-farming, what our practical research site is accomplishing, and how our sustainable method relates to world agriculture.
Tours include participant introductions; a discussion of the overall world challenges that humankind faces in the areas of soil, food, and nutrition; an exploration of the connection between thinking globally and acting locally; a tour of the garden and discussion of several crops in particular; and 30-minute mini-classes on double-digging, composting, seed propagation, sustainable home garden crops, and cooking with solar ovens given by staff, apprentices and interns.
The May 22 and June 5 tours begin at 10 am and end at approximately 4 pm. The June 19 and August 7 tours begin at 9 am and end at approximately 3 pm. Children not involved in the tour often find the event difficult, so please check if you want to bring them, and please do not bring pets to the tour.
The registration fee is $25 per person. It is $15 for members or those who join at registration or make a $20 or more donation with registration . Tour fees are not tax-deductible. Please pre-register as soon as possible (2 months ahead is best); space is limited.
