I am fairly new to this forum. I have a delema I need help on. I live on a 250 acre farm in Ohio whose main crop is apples. I have an approx 60x100 garden spot and room for more if needed. I have a desire to be as self-sufficient as possible and have some gardening/canning/food preservation knowledge. The problem I am having is that I have SOOO much land I don't know where to start. I grow everything organically and need help on how to get started so that I can produce as much of my own food as I possibly can and possibly sell some extra at our produce market that we have on the farm. Thanks in advance for all responses. </p> http://driftlessfolkschool.org/forum/topic/looking-for-instructors-for-fallwinter-catalogue#post-27 Fri, 07 May 2010 02:07:59 +0000 admin 27@http://driftlessfolkschool.org/forum/ <p>The Driftless Folk School is seeking instructors interested in sharing useful and important skills and knowledge through our Fall/Winter 2010-2011 Catalogue of Classes.

Some of the uses imagined for this service are: </p> <p>--to continue and expand conversations and friendships started in DFS classes,<br /> --to connect DFS course participants seeking advice from instructors and fellow students,<br /> --to connect people seeking advice about a particular project, art, craft, or skill with people with specific knowledge and experience,<br /> --to connect people wishing to buy, sell, or barter "folk skill-type" goods (charcoal, seeds, spinning wheels, dulcimers, flyrods... you get the idea) and services (barnraising, farm help, horseshoeing, fiddlers for your wedding, etc.).</p> <p>At present, this service is in the experimental phase. If you have questions or suggestions, please post them here. </p> http://driftlessfolkschool.org/forum/topic/how-to-use-dfs-forum#post-3 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 05:28:06 +0000 jacobhundt 3@http://driftlessfolkschool.org/forum/ <p>To use this forum, Register for a username and post your comments or questions under the appropriate sub-forum. </p>
