Ring in the New Year with Seattle Tilth Classes

The Seattle Tilth has a crazy good line up of classes to kick off your new year! Never heard of the Seattle Tilth? It’s such a cool organization. They inspire and educate people to safeguard our natural resources while building an equitable and sustainable local food system. They have been providing hands-on education in organic agriculture for 36 years. They believe that all people deserve access to healthy, nutritious food {me too!} and that changing the way in which we grow, cook and eat food has the potential to transform people’s lives as well as the communities in which we live {again, me too!}.
