I am going to try to do blog posts here and at other sites where we are part of an on-line community around regional food security and business. Here's a start.
Since we returned from a Permaculture Certification course on August 31, we've been busy getting ready for harvest and the opening of Shagbark Seed & Mill Co. We've been pushing to get our seed cleaner and mill in place in early October and equipment in place to harvest crops in the coming weeks.
We are very excited that NCAT will post a feature article about the Appalachian Staple Foods Collaborative for the quarter starting today. You can read the interview here. We'd love to hear from anyone who has questions, thoughts, contacts, ideas, dreams, recipes you want to share with us! We are out to build the collaborative far and wide!
Hello Everyone-
This summer the Ohio Ecological Food & Farm Association (OEFFA) is excited to be offering permaculture workshops in the Ohio with renowned writer and instructor Dave Jacke, the author of the award winning two-volume book Edible Forest Gardens. Included in these workshops for those who want to immerse themselves in forest gardening is a week long Ohio intensive with Dave in Springfield.
