City Chickens - Raising Chickens Workshops

Scott loves his chickens. He loves teaching others about them almost as much. It never ceases to amaze me at how farm life can become so addicting. Not only are we addicts, but we know there are many more folks out there that have picked up our addiction. Did you know that Farmer Scott has been speaking at the local food co-ops and the farm about raising city chickens as well as suburban chickens?

Scott started last summer giving informal, educational lectures about raising chickens. They went over so well, that we had a couple people share the information with their local food co-oops and now Scott has been speaking and teaching about raising chickens - the good, the bad and the ugly parts of all of it.

Apparently he's done well and people have been learning as he's been asked back a few times now. If your group is interested in more information about raising chickens, please drop him a note at scott at willowsedgefarm dot com or call 425-402-6781. We will be traveling in different parts of the US, so even if you think we're out of the way, drop us a note - we'll see if we are going to be in your area and when.

Fun for the Young Horse Lovers

Here is something I just found for those of you in the greater Seattle area - a 3 day workshop for the kids on horsemanship. We have no affiliation with them, but thought it would be something fun to pass on for all those horse crazy kids out there.

A three day Kids Workshop will be held at Cascade Meadows in Monroe Washington on April 6-8 put on by the CRQH Academy of Horsemanship. The hours are 9:00 to 12:00 on the 6^th and 12:00- 3:00 on the 7^th and 8^th.  There will be crafts, riding instruction, educational games and games on horseback. Paige Stroud, who has over 20 years of experience instructing riding students, will be working with the kids and horses. Tami Jennings, a teacher for 15 years, will be working with the students on crafts. We are asking $65 per day or $180 for all three days. We have wonderfully trained lesson horses available at no extra charge! Also, there will be a photographer present who will take pictures on the first day, free of charge, to be used on our craft project.  For more information and/or registration form contact Tami at tami1965.tj@gmail.com and check out the Academy at facebook.com/crqhacademyofhorsemanship
