South Mountain Homestead Courses

Raising food, either by growing livestock or gardening/farming, is year-over-year experiment. As we learn, we are excited to share those skills with you as well as some of our failures. You don’t need to own a homestead to take these classes or put them into use. We are happy to have participants that are interested in where they food comes from and how to get it locally.

****ALL GROUP CLASSES ARE ON HOLD UNTIL 2021. PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL MARKETING@THEHARVESTTRAIL.COM FOR ONE-ON-ONE OR VIRTUAL OPPORTUNITIES.
