Dear Market Farmers -

Graem Sait is one of the most insightful practitioners in the world of sustainable agriculture. Compared to him, virtually everyone offering workshops in the U.S. in sustainable agriculture is one-dimensional. Taking the NTS workshop with Graem is like taking 3 workshops at once: one on mineral soil work, one on working with the soil food web, and one on non-toxic disease and pest control, only all this information is integrated in such a way that you'll be ready to be a more productive farmer when you leave the class.. Graem accomplishes this in the same number of days and in the same price range you'd pay to learn less information from a specialist in any one of these important areas! Graem been working with the farmers, soils and the food web with the ideas in this course for over 15 years and has acquired a hands-on knowledge of how to integrate all aspects of farm management to create verdant living soils that produce plants that are free from disease and pests and are uncommonly nourishing for the people (or livestock) that eat them.

Graem doesn't teach often in the U.S. This is a rare opportunity to interact with him, one I'm going to jump on. I hope you are able to as well. I do not financially benefit from this announcement, but felt compelled to share this information.
