Fall DIY Workshops set to make you more self-sufficient

Want to grow fish in your own garage or backyard?  Have you secretly always wanted to raise your own rabbits for meat? Maybe you want to know more about mixology or the history of distilling in North Carolina, or you want to get a few more unconventional gardening tricks up your sleeve.

We’ve got a kombucha workshop for those wanting to make their own healthy and delicious beverage, and two soap making workshops because you know homemade soaps smell better, last longer and are easier on your skin and the earth.  And we have a communicating for sustainability to make you better at expressing your mission and values in your work to build a better world.
