Intro to Permaculture Workshop and Cob Oven Building
I think I told you all (so that would be like three of you? ;-)) that I'd get back to you with more details regarding the Intro to Permaculture Workshop that will take place at Pikku Maatila, so the "official link" is below.
Please note that the workshop is not actually at Pikku Maatila (where I live), but a few miles up the Lewis River on my parents' property -- which currently has no house on it and is rather more interesting (as far as terrain and trees are concerned) than the mostly flat 3.5 acres of Pikku.
It should be a great and informative day and I'm really looking forward to it.
If you're interested in attending one or both of the sessions on June 13 please send me an email at littlebunnyhill at gmail dot com and specify which of the "sessions" (or both) you'd like to attend.
Intro to Permaculture Workshop -- June 13
-------------------------------
Two weeks after the Intro to Permaculture Workshop there will be a Cob Oven Workshop Weekend at nearby Dee Creek Farm. It would actually be a great experience to attend both of these events -- the Intro to PC and then the Cob Oven Workshop a few weeks later. You can find more information about the Cob Oven Workshop at this link:

Anita (aka "Spark") Puckett and her daughter Summer Steenbarger are two amazing and extraordinary women that I greatly admire. Spark has a Permaculture Certification from a course she attended way-back-when by Bill Mollison himself. :-) And their farm not only produces amazing and beautiful cheeses (Spark makes them all by hand) but Summer has become a local advocate for the Sustainable Ag movement here in SW Washington. She is a member of a number of committees and boards and is able to make her intelligent and thoughtful voice heard.
There is much goodness.
