I would be willing to do a workshop where I live, but it would have to be on a Tuesday or a Wednesday.

That would be a great endeavor. We are meeting this sunday at my house to discuss growing for oursleves as well as making it profitable. Educating the public is one of my goals. I had lunch with the city manager this week, introduced myself as a member of code green , I told him  we were in the grass roots stage of transitioning our city. He appeared very receptive.   Barb

Calling All Growers. The heat of summer is upon us but it's time to start thinking about preparing for the warm weather crops of September. Get your plots ready and start to prepare for planting seedlings in July. Come October, you can sell your produce online at www.pachamamagrowop.com. Or, if you're interested, come and swap food with others who have joined our local food revolution.

Has this taken off at all?   I tried to send an email to the Pachamama grow-op with no response.

It has not taken off. There were 3 people involved but they all ended up having difficulties starting it up. I know Kira and Kacey the twins that are on the Environmental board of NPR are interested in starting up a farmers market/being apart of one. I brought up the Habitat for Humanity's site to them.  It would be nice to see this re-start and actually happen.

Eric,

Thanks.  We got the go ahead at Habitat to expand the garden beyond the raised beds.  Thus we are looking for an outlet to sell the surplus.  Unfortunately the Farmers Market is not coming around as we had hoped.

If Kira and Kacey are still interested perhaps we can partner with them to get it going.

Eric,

I still haven't heard from Stacey or Kira on this.  Do you by chance have a contact number so I can call them?

I can give you my cell number if that is easier to have them call me.

Thanks,

Rick
