May 17th - Saturday at 10am join me as I welcome Dr. Kimberly Wilson to Eden's! Dr. Wilson will share with us the value in eating organically. Is it just an overblown media campaign? Is it really worth the extra money? Why is eating locally part of it? Come listen to a natural approach to health, well being and disease prevention. Class lecture is FREE! May 18th is BARN AID! Some friends of Eden's are putting together efforts to hold a benefit concert here, Sunday May 18th, 2pm-6pm, to help raise funds for those affected by last month's tornado that blasted through the garden center/farm, apartment complex next door and neighbors ranch across the street. Blaze of Glory, Randy Allen Band and Decades are all in the line up! Parking across the street - at ASE Arena and Stables - and bring a lawn chair or blanket for lawn seating. No glass containers please! Cash donations, food gift cards (Minyards & Kroger are in town here) and non-perishable food items will are graciously appreciated. Thank you and we hope to see ya!
We'd like to form a class for organic pasture management - please call shop if interested. It is always a good time to get those pastures ready for hay production. Come hear how and listen to other ranchers and farmers talk about how sustainable farming and ranching has worked for them. I'm going to get Mark Chapman down from Denton County to share his secrets for successful sustainable pasture management with us again. Mark has had blue ribbon Bermuda hay that he and his son raised strictly organically! While we don't recommend a monoculture of grass, it can be done without pesticides and those costly high nitrogen fertilizers. Call 214-348-3336 (EDEN) to sign up for all classes Have an idea for a topic - drop us a suggestion. Classes are held here at the shop - 4710 Pioneer Road, Balch Springs Meet the Farmers and Ranchers Market Day!
