“Increasing interest in eating locally has some folks wondering how they could grow more of their own food,” says small farms specialist Andy Larson. He coordinates Homegrown Lifestyle, an ISU Extension and Outreach short course focusing on fundamental, scale-appropriate food production techniques and conservation strategies that small landholders and modern homesteaders can quickly put to use. The 12-week course will be offered at several Iowa locations beginning March 14. Registration is open now.
