The Market Gardener workshop in Victoria March 16

Young Agrarians presents Jean-Martin Fortier Market Garden Workshop Tour
VICTORIA

Learn six figure farming for small plots from Jean-Martin Fortier, one of
Canada's rock star young farmers (and our very own Eliot Coleman 2.0).
Jean-Martin marries smart, intensive farming with solid business sense all
while finding time to enjoy life. 

In this workshop and his new book, The Market Gardener, Jean-Martin Fortier
demonstrates how adopting intensive methods of production can lead to
optimal cropping systems. He will discuss how to:

   Set up a micro-farm & design biologically intensive cropping systems with
negligible capital outlay

   Farm without a tractor & minimize fossil fuel inputs through the best
hand tools, machinery, & minimum tillage

   Grow mixed vegetables systematically with attention to best practices for
weed and pest management
