Homegrown Harvest
On demand for groups of 4-8 people Being sustainable is not just about growing your own food - there is also harvesting, storing, processing and cooking it to produce nutritious meals for your family. Spend a weekend gleaming a hundred ideas how to do this easily, cheaply and efficiently. Have a go at milking a house cow, learn how to make butter and yogurt, gourmet sausages, easy bread and sugar-free jam (you'll never settle for less again!). Swap food storage and processing hints and ideas with Sheryn, or head into the workshop with Steve for ideas regarding lawnmower and chainsaw maintenance, homemade smokers, liquid compost systems, dehydrators etc. It's a fun weekend sharing techniques that turn raw produce into nourishing food and junk into useful objects. |

What people have said:
A lovely group of people which really added to the course. I like how Sheryn is non-judgmental about different gardening philosophies.
And an unexpected bonus to be going home with lots of cuttings!
Catherine is renovating an overgrown garden in the Waikato.
Hospitality has been extraordinary. Creativity, knowledge and humour bounces from the insides to the out. Did I mention the food?
I should have mentioned the food.
So happy I came. I really should have mentioned the food.
Mary is an experienced permaculturist who grows food for her whanau on her block in Hawkes Bay. I think she just came for the food!
Thank you for the stunning venue, stunning food and your generous nature of sharing everything you know and have.
Wow! I am so much awe - have had a really wonderful learning experience.
Christine has a block for her horses north of Auckland where she wants to plant some productive trees.
