Urban Homesteading Workshop for Families
Sunday, Sept. 18, 12:30- 3:30

This hands-on workshop will introduce families to a new and exciting way of life that builds self-sufficiency and family bonds in an Earth-friendly way.  Kids, with their parents, will churn applesauce, see an egg-laying chicken,
learn how to make jam, grind spices and grain, make bread, prepare a family food
plan, and lots more! 

Mary Wood, who teaches environmental law at the University of Oregon, will lead this workshop together with her three children–Sage, age
13; Cam, age 11; and Nick, age 5.  Token gifts and handouts will be provided.
