This free workshop with door prizes is sponsored by the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition.
Bassermann is a dynamic motivational speaker with a message who can walk the talk, reports the coalition.
He is passionate about all local agriculture from the back yard gardener, right up to the full- on producer.
He practices what he preaches and claims that he can earn $15,000 out of three Prince George back yards.
Sustainable and profitable producers are the key to the development of this important sector.
He will also be viewing a short video on the evolving opportunity of the arctic char production.
