Marilene Richardson and her husband, Brian, have been on the path toward sustainability for several years and are on a mission to make sure that others have access to the tools and information necessary to live a low-impact, sustainable life.
Among the services offered at The Songcroft School of Self-Sufficiency are a newsletter with seasonal tips and advice. A gardening and homemaking blog with timely, seasonal articles and of course, classes in sustainability.
Among the topics offered in their courses, students learn about starting and saving seeds, permaculture, soil science and amending soil, sheet-mulching, rearing small livestock, sustainable cooperative communities, planting, green housing, knot tying, compost, preparing for the seasons, water saving, pests, edible hedges, medicinal herb gardens, cover crops, food forests, cloches and cold-frames, year-round gardening, starting a cottage industry and more.
On the School's Facebook Page, Marilene writes;
"A family farm...
A quarterly newsletter...
A self-sufficiency school...
One family's journey towards sustainable living."
