Beekeeping Forum
The purpose of this forum is to create a place for local beekeepers to communicate, network, and learn from each other. Please, BEE kind and courteous, making sure to keep all readers in mind when responding. Let’s not become “Africanized!” TEACH, LEARN, & SHARE
Brewing Forum
Home Brewing is a great way to preserve your harvest. Let’s chat about problems, solutions, and new ideas. Wine, Beer, and Mead are all welcome.
Foraging Forum
The desert offers so much that we can use without having to go to the effort of planting it. Join us to learn when and where to harvest, as well as what to do with your gleanings. Participate in a group-harvest, or find out places you can go on your own.
Gardening Forum
Gardening in Arizona is different from anywhere else in the US. Lots of us come from northern states where the planting calendars and techniques are completely different from here. Let’s help each other learn to grow in the desert.
Preserving Forum
Once you start gardening, the next step is preserving your harvest. Canning, dehydrating, pickling, and fermenting are all ways to do that. Whether you are a beginner or expert, this is the place to share ideas and ask questions.
