*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.
