Oakland can boast of yet another local resource that will help residents build their urban ag and home-making skills: The Institute of Urban Homesteading.  The 2010 season is now open for registration.  Starting in March, IUH-Oakland will be offering affordable workshops on everything from Organic Gardening, Rainwater Harvesting, and Cheesemaking to Beekeeping, Seed Starting, and Raising Backyard Chickens.  The workshops are held at the homes of individuals in Oakland and Berkeley, with some classes in Alameda and Marin.
