Resilience in the San Juan Islands (May 6-8, 2011)


A glorious field trip this past weekend for the WWU/Huxley agroecology practicum course! Thanks to our farmer-partners for making this happen! And a special thanks to our cooks! 
At the Bullock Brothers' Homestead on Orcas




Thick planting of peas


Comfrey (bio-accumalator) and color-spot tulips

Grafting.....with unlikely companions



Onto Rhonda Barbieri's La Campesina project (Orcas)



OLR -- first certified raw milk dairy in Washington state (Shaw)



Cheese-making






Onto some wetlands study.....







And, Lopez Island -- S & S Homestead (Henning Sehmsdorf), studying pasture management using rotational grazing and.....studies in fermentation (and fine dining).
