Internationally respected author and educator Graeme Sait will bring his ‘Soil Health is Your Wealth’ workshop to Kiama as a part of Nambruc Natural Farms ‘Go Out and Get Dirty’ local talks.

Hosted by Douglas Ross of Nambruc Natural Farms, the soil health workshop will be held at the Joyce Wheatley Community Centre on Saturday 11 October.

Sait is the founder of Nutri-Tech Solutions (NTS), a pioneering company in organic and regenerative agriculture, and creator of the popular Nutrition Farming Podcast, with 500,000 listeners globally.

Sait is touring the east coast from the end of September to mid-October and his workshop will form part of Ross’ talk series that delivers practical strategies for both farmers and home gardeners.

The one-day workshop covers carbon capture, foliar feeding, soil therapy, and more sustainable and profitable approaches. Sait says the workshop isn’t just for farmers, urban residents will also benefit from understanding the connection between soil health and human health.

“There's a tremendous parallel between this whole soil health story and our own health,” he said.

Sait explains that soil health is about minerals, microbes and organic matter, and the interplay between minerals and microbes is the “essence of our health”.

Sait’s presentations have been described as “life-changing” by attendees, with his approach focusing on working with natural systems rather than against them.

“Our whole focus has been on how you can reduce input costs, be more efficient and make more profit, and have more fun farming without the stress,” he said.

The workshop runs from 7:30am to 5:30pm, with morning and afternoon tea provided, and participants are encouraged to explore Kiama ample lunch options.

Private consultations with Sait are available on Friday 10 and Sunday 12 October at $250 per hour.
