Farm to Table to Garden: Sustainability in the Home Garden
Ken Myszka has become a household name in the Bloomington-Normal area since creating Epiphany Farms Enterprise, whose mission is to create a diversified, pasture-based food system, one that blends beyond organic farming with impeccable food. Ken will be translating Epiphany Farms' innovative closed-loop system to the small-scale home garden. Learn about practices for the small garden that encourage sustainability and regeneration without extra effort. Topics will include composting, companion planting, natural predators, integrated pest management, permaculture and regenerative agriculture principles, and biodiversity.

Welcome/Introduction - Kira Santiago, Owner, Kira’s Flowers
