Saturday lunch and dinner and Sunday breakfast and lunch will be provided by the farm. We will be practicing skills most of the day (so plan for weather of all sorts), with a break after lunch, and a few short lectures throughout the day.

You are welcome to come and set up camp on Friday after 5pm, but please bring yourself a dinner and a breakfast as we won’t have food available until Saturday lunch.
