Harvest Moon Education Festival

Harvest Moon Education Festival, 3 Days!

Presented by Eco Acres and in association with Rowanwood Farm and Warriors Guild

Come join us at Rowanwood Farm for the Harvest Moon Educational Festival (Sep 9 – 11): a weekend of practice, training and sharing, full of lectures, demos, and workshop time. We will start Friday, Sep 9th at 4 pm and run through Sun, Sep 11th, ending by 7 pm. Currently committed workshops include: fire by friction story and demo, martial arts program, llama meets and greets/farm education, astronomy program, plant tours and more! (Check back for updates!)

Participants will also have time to work on any traditional or outdoor skill they choose, so bring any on-going skills and projects (if you have them). Work alongside each other by the stream, use the flint knapping pit, practice tracking in the sand, help caretake a working rescue llama farm, or you may work on a Eco Acres school project with us. (Projects may include creating giant burnout containers, demo traps, and more.) Come spend the weekend and experience more with us (and our growing list of partners).
