Challenges of Living on a Small Acreage -Price Reduced for Everyone

register for the full 8 week Living on the Land course for the cost of $185 per pair. I only received one registration so I am changing the course to hopefully fit a wider audience. First, the courses will now be only 2 hours long and begin at 5:30 pm. They will still be held on Wednesday evenings at the Vendome. Next, you do not have to attend all of the courses. You can chooses which ones you are interested in and that fit your schedule. Finally, I’m decreasing the costs to $10 per person per class. This will not include a binder or samples, but will include materials for hands-on activities, hand-outs and printed resources.
 
First course will now be on January 21st and the registration deadline for all classes is January 20th. Please register early!
