Really? Really! Homesteading workshops are indeed coming to Hamden.
Yes, I know it was Minnesota.
Urbanminers a deconstruction and salvage warehouse is hosting two upcoming workshops on January 22nd:
Maple sugaring with Lain Harris, 10am
Can you get maple syrup right in your own neighborhood. Yep. Learn how.
This will actually take place down the street at Lain’s house. Why ? He has maple trees and we do not. But stop by Urbanminers for some cider before or after or call Urbanminers for address information.
Raising hens & building chicken coops with Michael Calhoun, 2pm
Raising chicks and pullets for egg production
Proper handling of eggs
Qualities of different breeds
How to get started
Managing a small flock
Requirements of a chicken coop
Maple sugaring season is just around the corner and my Murray McMurray Hatchery catalog arrived last week. That means its time to start identifying neighborhood maple trees, selecting chicken breeds, and dreaming up some hen house specifications. Hope to see you there.
