Fruit Tree & Berry Pruning Workshop

Hundred Fruit Farm is a permaculture farm, education center, and design business. Our mission is to serve as a permaculture hub for our area, in terms of community building, education, and design, while also showcasing the diversity of fruits, nuts, berries, and other perennial food crops which can be grown successfully in our climate.We typically run two permaculture design certification courses every year and have recently started a workshop series on a variety of different permaculture skills and topics. Our ten acre farm produces a wide variety of different farm products - pastured eggs, fruits, berries, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, herbs, and babydoll lambs. Our farm also serves as a testing ground for no-spray fruits and berries (among other things), integrated into our sheep silvopasture system. These fruits and berries and many of the plants we grow and test here feature heavily in the permaculture designs we do, which we offer as part of our professional design and consulting services.

Just be aware that if cancel and ask for a refund on your ticket, we are unable to refund those fees.Who is this workshop for?This workshop is geared towards beginners who are 13+.
