Organic farmer and permaculture teacher Susana Lein of Salamander Springs Farm will be returning to teach a PERMACULTURE IN PRACTICE workshop for this year's Organic Association of KY conference in Bowling Green, KY. She will also participate in a panel on staple crop (dry beans, wheat and corn) production.
Susana Lein will teach practical applications of permaculture principles and methods using examples from building her productive organic farm, market business and homestead from scratch â?âÂ?œ starting with very few financial resources and no existing infrastructure. Learn how to build rich, healthy soil from infertile land without tilling, to recycle local nutrients, energy & resources, to intensively utilize space, to incorporate perennials, season extension, self-sufficient poultry, marketing and processing farm products. Learn to provide your own food and shelter using few outside resources. The workshop will also include an overview of rainwater catchment, ponds, a gravity-fed spring water system, utilizing solar energy, and natural building with local and salvaged materials. Registration for the OAKS conference includes breakfast and lunch and is free to OAK members and kids under 16, $25 for non-members, $10 for students. See website for more information.
