Great workshop on tortilla making. I've since acquired the equipment to make them at home. I also cooked up some of your dent corn using mineral lime [cal]. Who ever thought corn could be so good? The corn mixed with beans on a sourdough tortilla makes a hearty meal. Cheers! Kevin
Hi Krista,
David and I are interested in your storage foods CSA. Let us know when you know more how it will work.
Angela and David MacLeod
2012 Will be an exciting year for several other reasons. For the first time I will be offering a storage foods CSA in cooperation with our friends at Dragon Tongue Farm. 20 shares will be available and will include dry legumes, grains, and other storage crops such as garlic, winter squash, potatoes, and onions. Please let me know if you might be interested and I will email or call you once we have the cost calculated.
Hi Krista!
We are forming at TW communications team and I was wondering if you might be interested. We'll be helping promote TW events, doing press releases, social networking, and making sure our marketing stuff is consistent and upbeat! If you would like to help in a small or large way- join us at the Public Market on May 25 at 6:30 pm.
Thanks
Kate

Hi Krista,
I would be delighted to talk with you about the studio upstairs.
Basically this is a nice large room with a lot of light; it is carpeted. Bathroom upstairs and sitting room area goes with rental. The sitting room has plenty of room for a table chairs, small refrigerator. No kitchen up, so the kitchen is shared. I have it well stocked but there are cupboards that you would be able to use. I don't use the upstairs except for one front furnished bedroom that I keep open for occasional guests and family when visiting.
When would you like to see the land & studio? I work days in Bellingham but will be at home Saturday and Sunday mornings.
thanks,
Terese
I'm emailing to be put on your volunteer email list, please. laurasellens@gmail.com
Cheers, and thanks. Laura jean
