You may have heard of Joel Salatin, from Polyface Farm, USA. Joel is a 'beyond organic' farmer who supports regenerative agriculture. In 2010 he toured parts of Australia giving talks and we are fortunate to have him giving a full day workshop here in Townsville on Thursday, 4th August 2011. It looks to be both an informative and mind broadening experience.

    ramblings of an urban farmer

     I love food gardening.
    I truely believe that every household should take some responsibility for their food security. Children of today need to be aware of where food comes from and that possibly applies to a lot of adults as well.
    There are also many food alternatives that we need to explore. Supermarkets only sell a small portion of the fruits and vegetables that are available for human consumption.
    Gardening is about exploring, and there are lots of interesting and nutritious edible plants that aren't 'main stream'.
    Food gardening is extremely rewarding (and sometimes just a little heartbreaking, especially when you find caterpillars feasting on your bok choy) and wonderfully FUN!
