I have organic potatoes (reds, russets, fingerlings, including several heritage varieties) and winter squash available for a donation to the cause. My apple trees is loaded with apples for gleaning. One tree is a cider apple and the other has two heirloom varieties for fresh eating, juice, applesauce and rounding out the cider. The apples need a ladder and a spotter. You are welcome to come get some. Contact me through TW or eh, look me up in the phone book. Regards, Celt

The Pickford is screening a film called Survival Prayer that is about Indigenous Food Systems on Haida Gwaii. It screens at 7:15 PM on Saturday the 13th. The trailer is available at http://www.survivalprayer.com.

Wade Davis endorsed Survival Prayer, calling it a “a wonderful film, and a moving portrait of a people struggling to keep their traditional hunting and gathering ways alive to inspire new generations of Haida men and women.”

My article on permaculture in Bellingham has been published in the Summer 2012 issue of Permaculture Activist, p 48.  In stores now.

 

Thanks to all of the permaculture experts in Bellingham who responded to my interview questions last summer and last winter.  Since it is a short article, only a few of you ended up in the piece.

My article on eating healthy on food stamps was published in the Skagit Valley Food Coop newsletter.  If pass through Mount Vernon, pick up a copy of the newsletter at the coop. (I don't even have a copy yet).

If you look under essays on Pacific NW Author blog, you will find both food security and new green economy essays. Some of these I wrote 1 or 2 years ago, but the information is still relevant.  http://pnwauthor.wordpress.com

I also wrote 2 articles on chronic hunger for The International Examiner (International District, Seattle) in 2007, but I don't know how to get access to those articles.  One of them focused on food distribution in Seattle's poorest neighborhoods.

yes, I think Heather is signed up. Just wanted to let others know. PLEASE know that the summary report from Forum I is worth reading and the Goals are open for input. We are very excited about the work of this group and the longer term implications for resilience for our community. I personally hope that the skills and knowledge of Transition will be incorporated through participation as we move forward.

I hope someone is going from our group.  My timing continues to be awful.  I will be out of town AGAIN!
