[TheUWfarm] First Summer Work Party Tomorrow!

Hey Farm Friends,

 

Come down to our current site between 10 am and 12:30 pm tomorrow, or to our new site from 1-3 pm helping SYGW harvest!

 

Seattle Youth Garden Works is our partner organization at the new site, currently running a small production space there for their stand at the U District Farmer's Market.

 

We'll have a potluck lunch + big Farm salad (peas!!) from 12-12:30 at the greenhouses and then walk down to the new site.

 

Best in Dirt,

Rachel

[TheUWfarm] Re: Work Party Friday!

Clarification: For Friday's work party, we're meeting and eating at the current Farm space by the Botany greenhouses, possibly going down to the CUH space if there's work to do around 1 pm. :)

-Rachel

Re: [TheUWfarm] Work Party Friday!

[TheUWfarm] Less Talk, More Walk: Guerrilla Gardening, Wild Harvest and Turning Waste into Resource. (June 22nd 7-9 PM)

Hi Farm Friends,

You are invited to join us this wednesday evening for a hands-on sustainability event that I will be co-leading with my partner Jenna. We would love to see you there! Also feel free to bring any seeds that you have and would like to spread!

Nico

Less Talk, More Walk: Guerrilla Gardening, Wild Harvest and Turning Waste into Resource.

with Jenna McDonald and Nico Cardoun on June 22nd 7-9PM at Soul Food Books in Redmond (http://soulfoodbooks.com/portal/)

To look at a landscape and be able to assess its health and hear its call to fertility is a revolutionary skill and great service to Mother Earth. In this class we will be covering soil/garden health, how to read into the language of the landscape, learning native edible plants and guerrilla gardening. We will explore how to dive into the replenishing of the Earth and her resources without fear or a sense of separation. 

Essentially, what we've learned from our combined experience living in the Wilderness, Traveling world-wide to Sustainable Communities, and Studying Permaculture at both Evergreen State College and University of Washington will be boiled down to the most imperative and passionate pieces of sustainability we have to offer. Open to the interested seeker and master gardener alike! 

This 2 hour hands-on class will cover:

- 10 Essentials for a Sustainable Heart-Land-Connection ("Greening" the home and body-mind)

-Wild Edible and Medicinal Plant walk & preparation techniques (Bring Notebook/Camera)

-Making Eco-friendly "seed bombs" for planting out depleted areas 

-Suggested Reading Lists/Resources

-Making Community Connections/ Networking for the Earth!

It's not too late at all. You just don't yet know what you are capable of. Mahatma Gandhi

[TheUWfarm] Summer Internship

Hi Rachel,

This sounds like a great opportunity. However, I am not currently a student just a former Alumni through The College Of Forest Resources. I am currently working part time as a Market Manager for the Issaquah Farmer's Market and am also leading field trips for Biology 180 Students. Please let me know if this might still be possible without being a current student. If so, I would be happy to forward my Resume and Cover letter to you.

Thank you,

Suzy Karl

We still have at least one opening for our two paid student Summer internships on the Farm. Please respond if you'd be interested in being paid to learn about growing food and working in the sunshine and dirt. No experience necessary, just a heart to learn and hands to work.

$1500 for 20 hours a week June 13 – September 28 (dates a bit flexible). One position will be focused on our current site, where produce and watering/harvesting working and learning opportunities abound, and one position will be at our new site by the Center for Urban Horticulture, participating in the shaping of new beds, design and construction of a compost system, installation of irrigation, and more.

We'll be arranging times to discuss the positions during Finals week, June 6-10. Email back with interest in this great opportunity!

Best,
Rachel
