I enjoyed my experience at the Organic Growers School last year. This year they've expanded it to 2 days. It's a great place to learn for all levels of gardeners/homesteaders.

Organic Growers School offers a wealth of information on all aspects of sustainable living, so you can get on the fast track to saving money and living healthier. Since 1993, the OGS Spring Conference has been the best way to kick-off the season, with over 70 classes and hands on workshops on a variety of topics, from starting your first vegetable garden, baking bread, and saving on home energy costs, to raising your own goat herd. The mission of OGS is to provide down-to-earth, practical advice on growing and sustainable living, while remaining affordable and accessible to anyone wanting to participate.
In 2009, for the first time ever, the OGS Spring Conference will be expanding to two days. Mark your calendars for the weekend of March 21-22, 2009, and bring the family out for a weekend of classes, a trade show, seed and plant exchange, silent auction, and children's program.
Online registration opens in January 15
