Mentoring Classes
Farm 101
Love the idea of getting your own land and maybe even starting your own farm but don't know where to begin? Let us help you through sharing the lessons we've learned from buying land to fencing to outbuildings to animals and more based on your needs. We'll customize a package that will give you the information and support you need to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and start living the dream! Mentorships start at $100. A written copy of the information covered is also provided.
Goat 101
Ready to start your own herd but new to goats? There are many good books (and internet sites!) out there that can give you information, but we have found that learning from someone personally is the best way to be an informed caretaker. Let us be your mentors for Nigerian dwarfs, Fainters and Nubians and similar breeds. We can develop a custom package to answer your questions and help get you started, from fencing to milking to routine medical care and everything in between. We can meet at our farm, come to yours, or a little of both. Mentorships start at $100. A written copy of the information covered is also provided.
Chicken 101
Chickens are exceptionally easy to keep with just a little bit of know-how. We will walk you through starting your flock from breed selection (and where to buy) and will cover the basics of daily chicken care, what to have in your poultry medical kit, coop preparation and everything else you need to know to join the thousands of people who have discovered the joy of chickens. Just like our goat mentorship, the chicken mentorship provides you with one-to-one support and is customized to fit your needs. Mentorships start at $50. A written copy of the information covered is also provided.
Gardening 101
New to gardening? Love flowers but afraid you have a black thumb? Unsure of which plants will do well in your landscape? We'll help you select the best plants and methods for your situation, goals and experience level. Mentorships can have a specific focus, like butterfly gardens, flower beds or traditional vegetable gardening or straw bale gardening, or be all-encompassing. We will even go to the garden center with you to help select your plants. Mentorships start at $50.
