I HIGHLY recommend this! The times are actually 9am on saturday Aug 11 thru mid-day on sunday, Aug 12. There is a free workshop on Organic No-Till for Vegetable Production on sunday from 9-12. The rest of the weekend has a charge. I believe camping is included. Good folks, good work, good presenters. I'll be there doing a threshing workshop but mostly super excited to learn from Larry Korn and the others as well.
Larry Korn, translator of 'One Straw Revoution is scheduled aug 14th at Village Books, to introduce Fukuoka-san's newly published book "Sowing Seeds in the Desert", on Fukuoka's natural farming style.
Brian K at Inspiration Farm will host him for a observation visit, with details later on how to be part of this tour of a natural-biodynamic-permaculture Farm-stead.
