We always have many questions about how we are caretaking our land and homeschooling our boys. During our 18th Annual Fall Sale and Open House on Saturday and Sunday, Nov 14 and 15, 10 – 6 CST you can experience and taste first hand as Lu will be baking flatbreads out of our outdoor bread oven mid morning to mid day. He will also be giving a short talk about garlic around 1:30 CST. He will chat about planting, growing, cooking and the many health benefits of garlic. He has planted 2000 cloves of 10 varieties this fall for next August’s harvest. The mini presentations last about 20 minutes.
At 2:30 Ry Hook will be explaining what a fruit tree guild is – 
it’s importance and why you might want it under your fruit trees.
At 12:30 on both days
Jon will be explaining the woodfiring process of his stoneware ceramics, sculptures and the new addition of using used fryer oil as a sustainable fuel assist. See amazing pieces like this jug and plate
