What Our Guests Are Saying

I learned soooo much from the Medicinal Plant Preparations class. I can’t wait to forage for my own creosote!

Kim Cavendish

We love getting our honey from Blooming Ranch because the chickens and peacocks are always there to greet us. There is even a jar for food to toss them.

The Intro to Beekeeping Class gave us everything we needed to start keeping bees. Cricket is always there to answer questions too.
