Hosted at Elk Run Farm in Lyons, CO, over the span of 3 Wednesday summer evenings, you can be sure to learn about how to take raw ingredients from the garden and turn them into delicious, nutrient dense foods that can last you deep into the winter & provide nourishment throughout the year. At Elk Run Farm, the land stewards eat about 90% of their diets from our 1/3 of an acre forest garden and parking-lots-turned-grain-fields, thanks to these tried and true methods of preserving, canning and homesteading.

Dr. Olivia Messinger Carril will discuss how to garden for bees, based on the most recent scientific findings, with the goal of providing them with a safe harbor in the face of large-scale landscape changes.
