Fencing
Field Shelters
Goats
Poultry
Grants
CSA Creation & Maintenance
Organic gardening
Certification
Marketing
Wildcrafting
Garden structures
Old house repair
Making herbal products
Private-label sales
Farm markets
Market gardening (not always the same as organic gardening)
Instant garden with permanent raised beds
Agro-forestry
Animal rescue
Field trips to a meat goat farm, Draper Super Bee Apiary, a goat dairy, a
cement statue manufacturer, a u-pick strawberry farm (ice cream, anyone?) and
a very successful diversified farm/greenhouse/ice cream parlor business.
If it's worth an extra $10 to enough folks, I can hire my friend Ed and his
team to take y'all on the one-hour "around the block" tour. He requires $300
for an afternoon (includes all of the exhorbitant insurances).
Anybody who takes the accommodations option and wishes to do so may add a day
or two to the beginning or end of the weekend for $50 per day (including
meals), in order to enjoy the many attractions of this area. We need to know
right away if folks want to do this.
If we get at least ten (and they have room), accommodations will be at Watson
Homestead Conference and Retreat Center near Corning. If they're full by the
time we get their minimum number assembled, we'll find someplace else -- we're
blessed with quite a few options!
HOW MUCH: $200 with meals and hotel-type accommodations Fri. & Sat. nights
$150 with meals and hotel-type accommodations Sat. night only
$100 with meals if you find your own accommodations
$50 if you find your own accommodations and provide own
meals
$100 deposit required ASAP to reserve accommodations.
