Yes, a fall update, at the end of the second week of December. As you might have guessed, our growing season has just about wrapped up. Recently, we’ve been working on a little cleanup (though you might not guess it walking by) and lot of planning – grant writing, thinking of sweet ideas to involve more folks, deciding how many artichokes to plant (100,000,000) and preparing for CONTRA DANCING! (See below!) We’re also interested in convening a group of folks to help us think of ways to expand the breadth of the project…maybe plots dedicated for the food bank, or food boxes, or a ‘veggie of the month’ program with all the fixings. What do you think? Any interest in coming to a convening of brilliant minds? We’ll have details of our ‘smokin strategy session’ at the ‘smokin contra dance.’
ok! dance details!
