Backyard Farming in the Upper Mountains and surrounds
Something new and exciting is going on in the Upper Mountains:
Serious backyard farmers and wannabes meet on a regular basis to
learn, build, swap and chat.
Ever tried to winnow grain? Or wondered why your broccoli does not set heads?
Harvested seeds for the whole neighbourhood or are you searching for a fruit press?
Your chicken don't lay properly or you want to build a tool you cannot do on your own?
You think bees are challenging and soil tests are obscure chemistry or you always wanted to forage.
Certainly there's someone who knows a bit.
