Event Overview

This on-farm class will offer students the opportunity to view techniques of pest & disease management at work in the fields. We will also find and identify common problem pests on the property.

Apprenticeship classes occur on Tuesday evenings from 6-7:30pm, and will either be at EarthDance, in a public classroom, or at a field trip host farm. Please register in advance.

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

EarthDance Farm

Monica Pless grew up in Ohio, Maryland, France, Germany and Mexico City, but never on a farm. In college, she started out as an engineer but quickly switched to the ecology department for the chance to do field research on birds in Panama. She spent the next decade in New England working on farms in the city hiring high schoolers to do food justice work and rural farms raising livestock. She milked cows, herded schoolchildren, tapped trees and raised chickens before going back to school to get her Masters in Environmental Studies at Antioch New England, while managing a year-round CSA. Monica first met Molly at a conference in 2005 and has followed EarthDance online since it began. She’s excited to work with this team and explore all that St. Louis has to offer!
