*Announcing Fall Organic Series*
Earthwise Company is partnering with Inter-Faith Food Shuttle (IFFS) to
offer a fall workshop series that focuses on planning, planting,
cultivating, harvesting, preparing and eating from a fall organic garden.
This series is targeted at the beginning home gardener or small market
farmer as well as the eater in all of us. Workshop topics include
understanding organic practices and season extension, planning and garden
layout, soil preparation and planting, irrigation and cultivation, weed,
insect, disease and critter management, harvesting and post-harvest
handling, and food preparation for great taste and super nutrition.
These are hands-on workshops with both classroom and field time on the IFFS
farm on Tryon Road in Raleigh. A workshop resource notebook and CD will be
provided, along with a post-workshop lunch from the IFFS *Catering with a
Cause *program. The final class will focus on why fresh produce is so good
for you and will include harvest & preparation of a meal featuring local and
organic food produced in conjunction with the workshops.
