There has been a resurgence of people who wish to raise their own food for personal and family food security, both with produce and with poultry. Growing your own food is a healthy activity that maintains social distance and provides for personal and family food security.
I HIGHLY recommend subscribing! I will be adding digital content as we are keeping social distancing and food production is a great outdoor activity for health and wellness BUTTON ON THE RIGHT — >
Does your department, organization or group want to learn more about growing your own fresh, local, healthy produce? I am happy to work with you on a class.
Some formats include lunch and learn, specific topic, or just a Q and A session to address seasonal concerns or questions.
Topics include:
- Garden Planning – great for new gardeners or a refresher.
- Weeds, Pest and Disease
- Seed Starting
- Container Gardening
- Seasonal Question and Answer
- Backyard Poultry Production
- Any other topic you want to learn!
You organize your group and we find a time to meet online.

I know that poultry includes ducks & geese but how about focusing specifically on ducks & geese, such as, breeds, best breeds to make pets, best housing or a variety of housing options for large birds, show birds, characteristics, personalities & in general, just the fun of having them. Over the years, I’ve caught info here & there but I’d like to see it from your experienced perspective and in one package.
Mary, you are in luck! I just added a Backyard Poultry Production post that includes a webinar on almost all of what you asked. I will also be doing another poultry webinar via zoom live on April 29th as part of OSU Extension’s Ag Madness Tournament of Knowledge.
This is exciting news! Can’t wait!!
