The entire EAT YOUR DIRT Online Conference will be available for a Lifetime subscription of  $147 during the conference (5 - 11 March 2017) or $297 afterwards.

This includes 30+ speakers sharing a lifetime of knowledge, proven practices, and unconventional strategies. They demonstrate how to have a low maintenance, water efficient, beautifully landscaped yard, deck, patio, or community space that produces healthy and delicious food, for you, your family, and the community.

Imagine starting your first food guild on the south side of your property or in a community garden this summer where it is being watered directly from the runoff from the downspout attached to your roof. You don’t need to mow the grass here because there is none. You don’t have to rake the leaves because you want them to mulch the healthy soil in this small space. Fruits and vegetables are growing abundantly because the soil is healthy. The food is delicious and the flavors full of life. You have accomplished feeding your family local, healthy, and inexpensively. You’ve done your part for the environment. Life is good!
