Enjoyed the company, the food and the seed saving workshop, plus seeing Randy's seed bank (awesome).  Thanks for organizing.

I will be bringing apple pie. Purchased a box of organic apples at the Oak & 49th farmers market last Wednesday.  If nothing else, we may be chowing down on pie and more pie.....yummy.....

Blackberry Pie!  Or 2.  Finally some very local produce that is in huge supply.  Plums are also on the way.  

Hey, maybe we'll get some seeds this time to re-stock the Main Street Seed Library, and others.  Bring your extra--or saved--seeds, and donate them to the Main Street Seed Library.  (You'll be able to borrow them back next spring, and they will be stored in a cool, dry place.)

Lots of seeds ripening now! Watched some kids (including mine) collecting calendula seeds in the 'hood today.

Food

Local, organic, rural, and/or urban, food production is a mainstay of life, and doing it well leads to wellness. From farm to kitchen, discussions relating to food--and the community arising around it--belong here.

Transportation

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

5 discussions

Housing

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
