Ever wanted to know just a little bit more about farming and the way your food is grown? Farming for Foodies is a venue for food lovers and the farm curious. Facilitated by my much-respected farmer friend Tarrah Young of Green Being Farm, this workshop is designed to give you the nitty gritty on how your food is grown. Learn more about the basics of organic agriculture, how to apply these fundamentals to your own backyard garden, how to find 'real' organic food, and get your questions answered about the barriers preventing farmers from getting good food into your hands.  Cost: $75. More details at http://farmingforfoodies.blogspot.com/. To register, contact Margo McIntosh margo@balanceyourapple.com, or (519) 894-0002.
