Join us for an introduction to planning and layout of land for small-scale farming. Our case study will be a property around the corner from the SAHC Community Farm in Alexander, NC.
We will conduct a site analysis of the property’s conditions using a number of land planning tools, with a Permaculture approach. We’ll inventory conditions such as soils, water, wind, aspect and more to create a multi-layered map of the site as a base for decision making. Using this information, together we will draw up a concept for the site, addressing needs and challenges identified in the analysis phase.
This workshop will be particularly appropriate for participants who already own or lease land, as well as those who plan to do so in the future. Our focus will be on growers, and the public is welcome!

Enjoy a ‘spooky’ twist on our monthly farm tour as we get into the holiday spirit! But don’t let this hike scare you. It will be a moderate 2.5-mile loop across the hills and pastures of the SAHC Community Farm, with plenty of stops along the Discovery Trail to talk about farm production and conservation projects on the property. You’ll learn about our stream restoration efforts, shortleaf pine reforestation project, and more. FREE for SAHC members, $10 for non-members.
