Why stop with home-grown herbs? Thanks to Slow Food Baton Rouge (SFBR), you can raise urban chickens or be the best backyard beekeeper on the block. SFBR is dedicated to the development of a sustainable local food system, and these March workshops fit in perfectly with that mission. Each gathering promises both an engaging presentation and hands-on work with experienced professionals.
