Join us at The Edge Farms’ First Annual Hands-On Biogas Workshop and Backyard Biodigester “Make and Take” 

SIGN UP BY MAY 31st for a $50 DISCOUNT using the code “EARLYBIRDIES”!

Alexandra and Blake, Owners of The Edge Farms, will be building their own biodigesters. Other participants get a chance to join a team and play with others - and even begin to build their own! Simply join in and learn how you can build one for yourself.

Committed to providing innovative and sustainable solutions to small farms so they can become quickly profitable and built to the scale each wants… this duo is as accessible and understated as they are entertaining. We will have a ball together building and learning in the June sunshine.

Sustainability, homestead & farm independence, FREE fertilizer, FREE cooking fuel, and MORE off-grid energy - what’s not to love? 

We will be following the book How to Build a Solar CITIES IBC Tank Biodigester, with its author, world renowned Janice Kelsey, Co-founder of Solar CITIES. Check out her TEDx Talk on YouTube! Each person who signs up for the Make-and-Take Now or Practice & DIY Later ticket options will receive a copy of this hands-on manual at the event. Others who are practicing with a team of people, attending to Gain Experience or just thinking about building their own backyard biodigester can also purchase a copy to reference as a downloadable PDF.

Hosting this First Annual Sustainability-focused workshop, Blake and Alexandra are out to share hands-on skills and designs for turning food waste and other feedstocks into fuels and fertilizer that can be applied immediately to garden beds without a waiting period. By increasing fertility and the soil economy, your vegetables, crops, and flowers will thrive.

We will prepare and bring many materials for building them, as well as all of the tools and resources from the kit needed to build the main body of a biodigester. You can then share your experiences with friends and be the next expert!

We will have a very informative display set up, complete with mobile classroom & kitchen so you can see biogas in action!

IN ADDITION: We are also offering a FREE same-day tour of one of the Solar CITIES biogas proving grounds right here in Chester County, just 1/4 of a mile away, where a local family has been cooking with biogas and gardening with the live fertilizer for over a decade.
