SUMMARY:Reading in Place: “A Good Scythe”
DESCRIPTION:In-person at The Berry Center Farm\n\nDiscover the time-tested\, reliable\, and surprisingly efficient process of mowing a field with a scythe. This hands-on course will provide participants with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to effectively use a modern\, European-style scythe for mowing grass and harvesting hay. We will explore the historical context and ecological benefits of scythe-based mowing\, contrasting it with contemporary mechanical methods. Through discussion\, we will draw on Wendell Berry’s writing and a variety of practical and historical resources to explore the arts and cultures of the scythe as an agrarian tool for good land use.\n\nNOTE: Note: Due to the strenuous nature of the course and also working with extremely sharp tools\, we ask that participants be at least 18 years of age.\n\nCost: $50\n\nRegistration
