When - TBA

Where - At Green Dragon Organic Farm and B&B, Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia

What - Ways Into Small Scale Food Production - Organic, Permaculture, Biodynamic

You are invited to spend a Weekend learning about how you can live off the land. 
You don’t need to become a farmer to grow some of your own food - though you could!

Green Dragon Organic Farm is a unique small-scale farm in its 10th year. We combine traditional animal husbandry and an old fashioned market garden which includes three passive solar high tunnels. In our garden we emphasize handwork, specializing in over wintering hardy greens in order to have fresh produce available from March to December. Our intent is to be both self sustaining and commercial, and to practice global stewardship.

We have been Certified Organic for a few years and recently became Certified Biodynamic. The Biodynamic Farming Method, introduced by Rudolf Steiner in 1924, provides a way to move farming back into the center of society. It includes community building, offering the possibility to reform and shift values towards a more sustainable and healthier future. We have also successfully completed a Permaculture Design Course.

In our Introduction Workshop participants will learn about the nature of food production; its challenges, some of the broader aspects that influence it, and what it takes to really make it happen. We are looking as much into ethical homesteading as into actual farming, and how downtown folks can supplement their food with their own produce, too. 
 
Join us - meet like-minded people, browse interesting books, and get your hands dirty, think outside the box and learn from people who have actually done what you want to do. Save yourself money and time by learning from our experiences: it is just as valuable to know what works as what does not!

Most importantly: at the workshop we will serve our own on-farm produced food, veggies, eggs, cheese, meat, adding only products that can be grown in our climate zone. Of course we do allow tea, coffee, spices, chocolate... – and Heinz Ketchup, if you really need it! But you will be amazed how good the simplicity and richness of real and local foods taste...especially after a day outdoors!
