Could you expand on the "school" part? This sounds fascinating. Are you training other would-be farmers on organic methods?

- balabaster 9y agoYes, we have classes for various bits. The thing is, most people aren't going to want to take on the whole shebang - at least, not off the hop. Some might just want a "how to keep a couple of plants alive long enough to get fruit?" or "what do I need to know to be able to keep 3 chickens in my back yard?" type lessons. There are so many small aspects to farming that are overwhelming hurdles to people that just teaching the basics goes a long way. Once you get to scale then you need to start worrying about how to keep the animals watered in the dead of winter, how to extend your growing season, how to prep and store your produce over the winter months when you can't grow fresh. These all seem like tiny things when you think about them individually, but they quickly make people panic and go running for the nearest grocery store.
