The San Juan Islands Conservation District presents its third workshop in the 2013 Landowner Workshops & Events series. This interactive workshop explores sustainable and biodynamic farming and takes place on Lopez Island, Wednesday May 22 from 10am – 1pm.
Ever wonder if you can sustain yourself and your family from the land you live on? Meet a family that has been doing just that for over 40 years!
“Biodynamic farmers strive to create a diversified, balanced farm ecosystem that generates health and fertility as much as possible from within the farm itself.” Learn about the origins of the CSA movement and get ideas on how to manage your own garden or farm from the soil up.
This workshop will be hosted and presented by Henning Sehmsdorf, the owner of the beautiful 50-acre S&S HomesteadFarm that produces vegetables, fruit, flowers, beef, dairy, pork, lamb, chicken and eggs as well as animal feeds, fertilizers, solar energy, water and wood products. Resources that are not used on the farm are sold to the local community.

Location: S&S Homestead Farm, 2143 Lopez Sound Road, Lopez Island.
