At the event, Celia will have handouts with lots of information for anyone interested in growing their own organic food. She will address some of the unique challenges that farming in the mountains present to growers. This includes bears, one of which visited Celia’s farm and feasted on her flock of laying hens. In addition, she will recommend prevention methods to use against other 4-legged animals.
Celia’s event will be held in the Community Room at the Oakhurst Library (49044 Civic Circle) on May 9th from 10:30 a.m. to Noon. If you have any questions about this special presentation, please call the Library at: 559-683-4838 or visit: www.oakhurstfobl.com.
