GROW BIOINTENSIVE 3 Day Workshop

John Jeavons. Director of the GROW BIOINTENSIVE Mini-Farming program for Ecology Action since 1972.

I recently attended an incredible farming workshop through Ecology Action's GROW BIOINTENSIVE Mini-farming program in Willits, CA- just over the hill from our place. Lead by John Jeavons, a complete agricultural visionary and human encyclopedia, we were directed through the very well-researched process of growing as much food as humanly possible using the smallest amount of space, water and resources. GROW BIOINTENSIVE is used in over 130 countries and people continue to travel from all over the country for this workshop. I left with a large bag full of publications and I've been studying ever since. Flash cards have even been introduced. Farm nerd here. L

I believe this man will be legendary and I'm so grateful to have been one of his young students.
