Hi Lindsey, I am interested in the Just Cheese Making Class, 9am-Noon weekdays Are there any classes planned soon? Thanks!
Hi!
I found info about you on Craigslist, and navigated here to learn about your coops. I see you have classes. Are you in Colorado Springs? I live in Parker, CO and would love to talk to you about a coop and your class. Our chickens will be arriving in April, raised to pullets. We are excited but want to learn more. MLB
MLB, Yes! We are in Colorado Springs! My husband teaches a great “Raising Backyard Chickens” class. We’d love to talk to you. You can call us at 719-651-9819. Lindsey
Got anything online? Can you live webcast? I am in KS?
Angela, I don’t have any videos online yet. What are you thinking of? Lindsey

Hello,
I’m interested in your class on raising chickens and was trying to find out how often you run them and when the next class will be.
I’m interested in a kid’s class, but can’t make any of the July dates. Will you be offering any of these in August or September?
Hi Lindsey,
I have a gift certificate for the full goat cheese making class that my husband gave me for Christmas. He has decided to take the class with me. When will your July schedule be posted? Nothing in June works for me due to my work schedule. If anyone is requesting a weekday class, that might work for us-I am off 7 days and on 7 days. I am a city farmer. I grow vegetables instead of grass, have 6 chickens for eggs, an angora rabbit for the fiber and the fun, 2 bee hives (actually my husband’s pets), a dog and a cat. We stay pretty busy, but always willing to learn something more. I would love to have a pygora goat or two, but not sure we could get away with it in downtown Colorado Springs. Some of your posts have me wondering!!
Thanks,
Linda
Linda, I will have the July schedule up within the week! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your husband!! Lindsey
I am intrested in the care of chickens class. Are you going to be offering that again soon? I would appreciate any information.
Thank You,
Lenore
Hi Lenore! Thanks for asking! We do have a Raising Backyard Chickens class scheduled for Sunday, May 15 from 1:30 to 3:00 and two classes at Venetucci Farm on Saturday, May 28 from 9-10:30 and 11:30 to 1:00. Do any of those work for you? Lindsey
Hi Goat Cheese Lady
my name is Regina Andrews and I won a fantastic “Goat Cheese Making Clkass” from the PeakDem fundraiser last n night!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DONATING!
There will be the four of us (Drew and I and a couple of friends) and we where hoping we could do this on a Sunday. Just let me know, which ones you have available. We are looking more towards late May or June
Cant wait
Drew and Regina
Hi Regina! Congratulations on getting the gift certificate! It is good for one person, and the maximum class size is four…so it sounds like it’ll work out great to have you and Drew and a couple friends! I post the schedules about one to two months in advance, so keep your eye on the schedule of classes on the site. I do classes many Sunday’s each month, so I’m sure we’ll get one that’ll work in May or June! Lindsey
I saw that your Planning & Starting Your Organic Garden class on Saturday, Feb. 5th, is full. Will you be having another class, and when? Thanks~
It’s still open! I think we have 7 spaces left…still room to sign up! Lindsey
Hi Lindsey-
It’s so great you are doing this. I am asking for a gift certificate for Christmas for your class.
I am interested in the soap/lotion class. For the cost of $70.00 how many products will this yield? (# of soap bars and or size lotion). Are containers for the lotion and or soap molds provided or should I bring something special as I plan to give these as gifts?
Hi Deb, You’ll get about 24-26 bars of soap and 1 1/2 cups of lotion. You can get more soap if you want to use smaller, decorative type molds. We typically use a variety of non-decorative molds, everything from shoe box lids to plastic food containers. Once these shoe box lid sized soap bars dry for a day, you cut them into the bar size of your liking. If you’d like something more special to give as gifts, please do bring your own!
