June 25-27 Midwest Ox Drovers gathering at Tillers

[Guest guest]

My son Astottara (Alexander) just started a summer internship at

Tiller's new facilities at Scotts, Michigan -- about 15 miles from their

old place in Kalamazoo.

 

The old place they rented was about 12 acres. The new place is 450

acres, and they plan to build farms from three different historical

eras. At the end of the Oxen Basics class they will be hosting the 8th

annual Midwest Ox Drovers Gathering, . Devotees from the Midwest may

want to attend. Here's the description from the Tillers website:
