Basic Beekeeping

Managing a Meat CSA

Michael Fields Agricultural Institute, East Troy, WI
March 7th, 2009 from 9:00am - 12:00pm and 1:00pm - 4:00pm

Today we have two very different yet focused workshops. Join us for more of our Farmer Faculty’s excellent presentations in our 2009 Whole Farm Workshop series!

What’s the Buzz About? Basic Beekeeping
9:00am - 12:00pm
Discover the fascinating world of bees. Petra Ahnert of the Wisconsin Honey Cooperative will help you learn how to get started as a beekeeper with basic beekeeping equipment, hive management skills, marketing your products and your initial start–up costs.

Managing and Marketing a Meat CSA
1:00pm - 4:00pm
Cedar Valley Sustainable Farm is a diversified small–scale livestock operation. The farm utilizes a multi–species grazing approach incorporating beef, poultry and pork into the operation. In this workshop, Beth Osmond will help participants gain an understanding of the organization and management of their 200 share meat CSA and learn the marketing techniques that have helped them succeed.
