We've added an Eat Local Week event!

Join compost gurus Dave Gwatney and Steve Suau for a deep dive into both energy-saving static pile composting and the emerging science of microbe communities! It will be science-y and ALSO kid-friend.

Local permaculturalist Deric Harvey will also have perennial plants for sale on site at his nursery.
