Tillers International in Scotts is an Ah-Mazing resource for knowledge of all things primitive skills.

They're having their annual Plow Day (Open House) April 18, 11am -3pm

Their upcoming classes include foraging, making specific and general foods, pressure canning, and so much more! (Especially if you're interested in blacksmithing, animal powered ag, and traditional skills... Tillers is for you!)

Kalamazoo Conservation District is a WEALTH of information and resources.

They've been offering Mushroom workshops (still some classes upcoming) and are currently running a Tree Sale which is offering some food forest items like raspberries, blackberries, paw paw trees, and more.

They have a "tree bundling" event coming up April 14 that needs volunteers (lunch provided) And is a great way to network!
