Farming Resource Class
Join us Tuesday, August 4 at 6:30 PM in the Chapel with Larry Kepler!
Larry Kepler will be sharing his story of farming for more than half a century. Raised on a Nebraska farm and now farming for decades in East Texas, you will not want to miss his insights into soil health that make the difference for those who are gardening/farming in a natural, organic way. 

Come meet your neighbors and bring a friend!
