This class is a part of a new series called Living on the Land, a program by WSU Regional Small Farms for Kitsap, Jefferson, and Clallam counties. Living on the Land is for people living on small acreage, backyard growers, and anyone interested in connecting with their local food systems. Classes will take place online, where people can access them from the comfort of their home, and in-person, at local farms for hands-on, interactive learning. Topics in 2025 will cover chicken and poultry care, raising and breeding small ruminants, seed-saving, food preservation, and composting.
Living on the Land classes will take place throughout the year and participants can attend one class or all. Online classes have unlimited registration. In-person class size is limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Tickets are available to reserve approximately one month before the class. The classes are free and open to the public.
