SYNTROPIC FARM COURSES

2023 Syntropic Farming bookings open, now in 2 Parts.

We have changed the format of our Syntropic Farm course this year from the One day intensive, to a more digestible Two Part program.

We have two dates in February for Part 1 where we build a system from scratch in an afternoon. We have just one date in March for Part 2, for a more advanced inquiry into Treeline management for your food forest.  


You need to complete Part 1 in order to do Part 2, unless you have completed our One Day Intensive.
Book Both Part 1 & 2 before 26 Feb and get $40 off.
