Has anybody visited "The Farm"?

This is close to me, but I've never been. They offer all kinds of workshops, including solar installation.

Edited to add the home page. The other I had bookmarked.

2. Thanks, MelissaB. I'm in Western NC and had not heard of it.

I'll give their site a good read when I've got a bit more time.

5. This is the one I'm interested in:

Alternative Energy Workshop
Oct 19-22, 2006

For international development workers and others interested. Grow your own fuels and convert your car or truck to run on alcohol or biodeisel. Put photovoltaic cells on your roof, bake bread, or build a solar shower. This three day course will get you started towards personal energy independence. $400, meals and lodging included, with Matthew English, Jason Deptula and guests.

8. I have a friend who went there to have her baby

But I'm afraid I don't know much about The Farm other than their midwifery program. I know a lot about that, but that doesn't seem to be what you're looking for.
