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.

Join us for an informative and hands-on intensive workshop on pruning fruit trees, nut trees, and berry bushes. Includes lunch!

Workshop DetailsPruning always seems to be a topic that intimidates a lot of people. One wrong snip and you could set your fruit tree back years! But at the same time, once you understand the fundamentals, you&#x27;ll realize just how easy and enjoyable pruning really is. So get ready to leave your pruning worries behind and come join us for a day-long pruning workshop where we will co over the fundamentals of pruning fruit trees, nut trees, berry bushes, and other plants!Workshop FormatThe workshop will take place on a single day over a period of six hours, which includes a one-hour lunch break, with lunch provided by us. We will provide some tools, but we encourage you to bring your own pruning tools if you have them, as we will likely not have enough tools for everyone. The workshop will cover pruning theory and practice and everyone who attends will have a chance to practice the various techniques and shapes taught in the workshop.
