Hand N Home Farm

Hand N Home Farm Organic Produce Farming for 30 years, Reality Farming 2012 program When: Twice a month, see schedule below. Hand equipment is available for use in the fields.

REALITY FARMING 2012
Join real organic farmers and learn and DO real produce farming for
the 2012 growing season. Where: Hand N Home Farm, Kingston, MN, established in 1982, located about 1 hour west of Minneapolis. How: Each farmer will get classes and FIRST HAND experience farming a 1/3 acre plot (approximate) at Hand N Home Farm. Instruction will include: pre-season planning, bookkeeping,

marketing, seed ordering, field prep, affordable equipment selection/ options, ACTUAL tractor and equipment maintenance and driving, weeding, picking, packaging and transportation options, and more. All produce raised by participant will be theirs to eat, market, or share as they wish. This is not an internship, it is your
practical experience growing for the entire season. Why: We started without ANY experience and have been farming for 30 years. As licensed educators in many subjects, and before we retire, we want to help others GET the experience we never had! Cost: $950.00/plot for the 2012 season, does not include seeds or plants. Limit of 10 plots available. Rustic camping facilities are available at the farm each weekend of classes. FIRST MEETING AND SIGN UP
