We strive to have everything you need to start your garden this season - organic fertilizer, soil, books, seeds, beneficial insects, biodynamic herbs, foliar tea mixes, and more. Our eggs, some early spring greens, and other natural products will also be available for sale. We will also have some other local, sustainable farmers with their products available.

Beans are one of those things that can make a huge difference in your health and well-being just by adding them to your weekly eating plan. And we'll go over a bunch of different ways to integrate them into your every day life easily. This workshop will lead to better overall health. Beans have been missing from the typical American diet and people have strange opinions of them, but they are delicious, easy to digest when prepared properly, and nourishing on many, many levels. We'll do a selection of fabulous bean dips, nourishing bean soups, refreshing bean salads (great for packing for work or school lunches), minestrone, and a variety of other recipes, as well as bean spouting.
