  1. Introduction to Farming

April 27 9am -11am

The Red Maple has made it possible for many people with little or no agricultural experience to learn farming techniques quickly and efficiently. Save yourself years of disappointment and learn from our mistakes. We’re here to show you the ropes.

What you’ll learn: How to Grow Your Own Food. This introduction combines biology, economics, engineering, chemistry, community development, and more. 

2. Homesteading

May 4 9am - 11am

Homesteading is a life style of self-sufficiency and sustainability. It involves everything from growing your own food, to producing your own energy. This is where the course gets a little deeper into the “lifestyle”, and what it means to be both dependent on your community, and independent on your own.

What you’ll learn: learn to produce and provide all that you need to live. This includes the true basics of cooking from scratch, canning/pressure canning and preserving food, as well as keen insight into what it’s like to actually live the life of a homesteader.  

 3. Bees 

May 25 9am - 11am

Bees are a super organism. Harnessing the power of the individual for the benefit of the collective is central to the organization of all super-organisms, including humans.

What you’ll learn: our beekeepers will not only introduce you to bees, but their function/importance in our life.

4. Make Your Own Medicine

June 8 9am - 11am

Step into a world you maybe never even knew existed. Compare stories with friends and learn how to create your own medicinal garden at home
