As always, all classes are open to the public and presented without charge. They are still held on Thursdays from 12:15 pm to 1:00 pm. and are still broadcast live over the internet as well as archived for viewing at your convenience. All of last year's classes are still available by going to www.eisnlive.ezstream.com. For classes earlier than last October click the More Archives link at the bottom of the broadcast list and select the month from which you wish to view prior classes.

Mark your calendars now because we are lining up an incredible year of classes you won't want to miss. While we very much appreciate knowing if you are coming so we don't run short on supplies, you are welcome without any prior notice to us. And remember, we have a wonderful play area right next to the classroom for your small children. Please feel welcome to bring them so you can learn with the rest of us and enjoy the social aspects of getting together is such an informal atmosphere. 

2013 Class Schedule
Feb. 7 - Tapping Box Elder Trees for Sap by Joseph Smith The Box Elder is a cousin to the Maple and produces a wonderfully sweet tasting sap that can be used for sweet teas, syrups, flavoring, etc. Because the sap starts flowing later in February, you need to learn and acquire the inexpensive tree taps now so you are ready when the time comes. Let Joseph teach you how to do it, how to use and store the sap. We will have sample tastes here during the class so you will know why you want to use this free resource.

Apr. 11- Walipini Gardening by Joseph Smith
Joseph is returning just in time to teach us all about gardening under-ground before the gardening season begins. We mentioned this last year and gave you a link to learn a little about it. Now, you can come and learn directly from someone who uses a Walipini. This is not only facinating, but also ever so practical. It can generally be started for little more than the cost of digging a hole. Come and learn with the rest of us how to out smart winter and enjoy fresh produce year round. IT REALLY DOES WORK!
