You have the option to register for one day of the workshop of your choice (Friday only) —or— both days of the workshop of your choice (Friday and Saturday) for a more in-depth experience.

Mushrooms offer us nearly infinite possibilities for innovation, including high-quality food and alcohol production, water filtration, antibiotic development, invasive management, myco-pesticides, pollution and toxin remediation, and more. Whether you’re engaged on a home-, garden-, or farm-scale, beginners and advanced students alike will walk away with the knowledge and skills needed to accomplish a range of personal or professional goals. Participants are strongly encouraged to attend both days. The workshop builds on itself and all of these components work in harmony to create optimal understanding of the power of the fungi community.

2. The Sustainable Poultry Flock, taught by Jim Adkins

The workshop will include a lecture, hands-on experience, and a farm tour. The hands-on components will happen on Saturday and will include a breeding analysis and a slaughter and butcher demo. Students will receive a training manual filled with resources, including budget overviews, facility plans, pasture-growing strategies, feeding instructions, and proper feed recipes.

3. Tending Your Inner Garden, taught by Monica Corrado

True health begins and ends in the gut. In fact, there is mounting evidence that chronic illnesses such as cancer, depression, allergies, and autism spectrum disorder find their origin in the digestive system. The gut—which acts as a “second brain”—functions independently of the actual brain and plays a huge role in whether we struggle or thrive. In this accessible and non-clinical workshop, Monica Corrado—teaching chef, holistic nutritionist, and certified GAPS™ practitioner—will uncover the secrets of a traditional whole-foods diet and nutrient-dense cooking through simple, do-it-yourself techniques that address health issues holistically. This high-energy workshop is comprised of a lecture, cooking demos, tastings, and handouts that will help you will learn how to heal your gut. Participants are strongly encouraged to attend both days. The workshop builds on itself, and all of these components work in synergy with each other to create optimal healing.

Nuts and seeds don’t want to be eaten; in fact, they are designed by nature to be very hard to digest and even contain “anti-nutrients’!

This is an immersive 2-day workshop taught by JIM ADKINS of the Sustainable Poultry Network as part of the 5th Annual Harvest Conference.

The workshop will include a lecture, hands-on experience, and and a farm tour. The hands-on components will happen on Saturday and will include a breeding analysis and a slaughter and butcher demo. Students will receive a training manual filled with resources, including budget overviews, facility plans, pasture-growing strategies, feeding instructions, and proper feed recipes.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Did you ever taste the chickens that your grandma used to cook? The birds that would run around the barnyard chasing bugs and eating worms? Unfortunately, we no longer see much of those slow-growing, great-tasting birds on our kitchen tables. Ninety-nine percent of all the poultry consumed in our country is fast-growing poultry—grown in confinement, pumped with chemicals, and not genetically sustainable. The good news is that this workshop will show you how to bring back heirloom breeds of pastured poultry to your plates, farmyards, and communities through The 5 Pillars of Sustainable Poultry Production:

Breeding—Learn to improve the productivity and quality of a breed through commitment to the principles and practices of breed selection. A component of this pillar includes incubation, collecting and properly storing eggs for hatching and the basics of breeding principles and practices; and the necessity of selection.

Growing—Without proper care and husbandry your birds will not achieve maximum potential! This includes every aspect of the environment—pasture, housing, feeding and proper use of equipment.

Feeding—Feed costs are approximately 70% of your expenses and because of this, it is critical to get this right. Learn to assess the local opportunities for feed grow grain, develop a nutritionally complete feed recipe, and learn the basics or poultry nutrition and proper feeding strategies for all ages of poultry.

Processing—Learning to properly kill, package, and label your birds for consumption and market bird is critical for a high quality product.

Marketing and Education—Marketing is a significant part of your sustainable business and includes understanding of cooking preparation and techniques as well as general education of your customers. We’ll also discuss different scales of operations, the economics involved and the practical business components that are necessary for success.

Dates: Friday to Saturday, September 7–8, 2018
Time: 9:30AM–4:30PM (both days)

When reflecting on the current state of the environment, it seems that we have entered into times of seismic sorrows. Carbon emissions, water pollution, fracking, and changing climate patterns all point to a troubling reality with serious consequences for human and non-human populations. Through weavings, installations, sculpture, and print, artists Rena Detrixhe and Tali Weinberg (Tulsa, OK) explore the complex relationship between humans and the planet, offering insights, expressing grief, and creating space for resilience and change.

In Time of Seismic Sorrows is curated by Marilyn Zapf and organized by the Center for Craft. The Center for Craft is supported in part by the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
