Re: [TheUWfarm] [f2sconnections] FW: Real Food Youth Convergence at University of Montana (fwd)

Ann et al.,

Thanks for reminding us about the conference! Let's find a way for those who attend to make a report back to the rest of us on their experience.

With regard to the Cobb Oven schedule, I think it is important that we set a regular schedule and stick to it. Last weekend, another student farmer invited outside guests and they were confused about schedule change; they ended up coming on Monday but too late and missed the party. I have already invited people for the 2nd Friday of February. Can we confirm the start time for the next firing on Friday Feb 12th?

In terms of outreach, we want to be able to invite new people and other on-campus and off-campus groups to visit UW Farm for Cobb Oven Firings, and to plan ahead for this. A few things to consider are adding additional Oven Firings as there is interest, and training more people to operate the oven, and procuring more wood.
