*Two Weeks of Hands-On Permaculture- **and Organic Farm Living...*
We return for our third year to Four Elements Farm to live the rhythm of
farm life and experience hands-on permaculture.
*October 17-30, 2010  |  San Luis Obispo County

The site for our course is Four Elements Farm, a 47 acre Natural Building
Learning Center and organic farm nestled in the steep chaparral hills of
California's central coast. Hands-on opportunities on the organic farm and
garden abound throughout the course: chickens, beekeeping, composting, fruit
tree management, harvesting, planting and more. The farm is also home to 4
Elements Foods and Elemental Herbs.

As both backdrop and center stage for the design course, the farm provides
us with the opportunity to experience the revitalization process associated
with the use of permaculture principles.
Halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo is America's
coastal heartland, where agriculture and ranching are still important parts
of life. The Farm is minutes away from world-class wine country and
unspoiled beaches... Optional field trips, wine tasting beaches, farmers
markets and Big Sur Excursion.
