This is a cool opportunity if anyone is going to be in the NYC area on July 31st. The place where this workshop is going to be held is the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture. It's a beautiful place about 30 miles north of NYC. I worked at their Farm Day Camp last summer. It's well worth a visit, and the farmers and apprentices there are great.
Just wanted to share!

Cultivating and Marketing Herbs and Edible Flowers
Summer workshop for farmers
Saturday 7/31 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM $15
A workshop especially for new and transitioning farmers who want to grow herbs and edible flowers for culinary, medicinal, and tisane uses. Join Stone Barns growers Shannon Algiere and Laura Perkins, farm apprentices Olivia Kirby and Samantha Ross, and herbalist Clare Pierson, for an informative morning covering propagation, companion plantings, soils, plant sales, harvesting, processing, record keeping, marketing, foraging and weed identification. Instructors will also cover restaurant and market sales, and the educational components of herbs on the farm.
This workshop will combine classroom time and a farm tour, so please bring your farmy footwear.
