Another Great Summer of Courses!

We had a great summer of classes up at Alderleaf. A big thanks out to all the students, staff, volunteers, and interns! It was a another adventure-filled season of teaching, learning, and having fun on the farm and in the forest. Here's a few photos:

Creating additional food forest at the Permaculture Design Course by sheet mulching and building plant guilds around the young fruit trees.

Sharing a feast at the Permaculture Design Course made entirely of food grown and raised at Alderleaf Farm, including roasted herbed chicken, a potato dish, a cabbage dish, beautiful salad, kombucha, and a pumpkin pudding made with sheep milk and eggs from the farm!
