Zero-Mile Diet Workshop
April 30, 2016 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Most of us have heard of the 100-Mile Diet – where someone focuses their diet on only food produced within 100 miles of where they live. In these times of increasing food costs and decreasing food quality, more and more people are recognizing the benefits of making their home a productive asset which supplies some portion of their diet.
Join us for a Zero-Mile Diet Workshop – how to grow most of your own food at home in suburbia. This half-day workshop includes a tour of a working home-microfarm in St Margarets Bay, and will cover aspects of vegetable gardening, year-round greenhouse growing, orchards, vineyards, berry crops, beekeeping, vegetable storage & larders, and food preservation.
The workshop is limited to 25 participants. There is a fee of $20.00. Pre-registration is required. Coffee/tea/snacks will be served for the discussion at the end of the workshop. Contact: info@transitionbay.ca to register.
