This fall, I taught a class in the Sustainable Food Production Class at MState-Fergus Falls.  Rather than follow the typical paper-writing model, we thought it would be fun to research and show what we learned in the youtube format, thus sharing what we learned with many.  Our topic of focus was biological farming, which is what we practice at Bluebird Gardens.  Following are the links to those youtubes.
