If you grow anything and or have an interest in furthering your understanding of gardening…read morepractices then check out their website and and subscribe to their facebook to get updates on their events. This place is a real working and educational farm. You must come to visit. There are not many places that I know of that offer this type of shared insight and opportunities to take part. A couple of months back I was in Ecuador visiting a farm to learn about Permaculture, various composting, and different methods of growing techniques. The name of that particular farm is Rio Muchaho Organic Farm and Eco-Lodge. Wild Willows will teach you much in the same way but there is no where to actually stay. It's a place to visit, study, and work for the day.
I am currently taking an Herbal Medicine class that is 2 days long Saturday and Sunday from 10-5pm. First day we discussed herbs in the field, there was engaging lecture, hands on experiencing learning how to make fermented foods, made natural beauty products like cream and salves. Lunch was included and was sooooo delicious and fresh. The class was full and this tells you that many people have an interest in these topics. The other class mates were kind and super interesting. At the end of Day we got to take home jars of yumminess and tins of body cream and salves. How wonderful is that!
It can get very hot. Check the weather. Bring a big sun hat, a light wrap to cover your shoulders from the sun. A water container that can keep your water cool. You will learn lots and make new friends who share the same curiosity about nature. Go check out their next events.
Last thing... there were several people in class that drove from afar to come to this class. They made a weekend trip just to attend. For people who live in San Diego or across the border... this resource is right in our city... do take advantage of this unique resource as you don't have to spend as much on gas or hotel to get access to this experience.
Come with open mind and heart and enjoy!
