Dave Jacke is a nationally-renowned ecological designer and the author of Edible Forest Gardens--a masterwork for land stewards looking to create perennial edible landscapes at home and in their communities. Jacke is also a remarkable educator, with experience teaching hundreds of farmers, backyard growers, and regenerative champions. Whether your commitment is personal or professional, you'll leave this course with the toolkit to create abundant, self-sufficient food forests at a variety of scales.

I hope you can join us for this transformative learning opportunity! You'll also meet likeminded growers and ecological advocates from across the state and country, building connections that will outlive the course. 

Financial aid is available and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
