Support for the facebook page is really appreciated as we are raising research funds for the apiary right now. To fundraise, Evan has partnered with Microryza, a science/research fundraising organization, and there are just under 2 weeks left to meet our goal. I'm not entirely sure how it works, but if we don't make the goal, we don't get to keep any of the donations, which is a huge bummer. We've raised over $1000 so far!! If you want to see the Microryza page there's an interview and video with Evan too (Microryza)

[TheUWfarm] Beekeeping updates and Microyza funding- only a week left!
Hey y'all, Jamie B. the beekeeper here. I've been out of town for the summer, but while I've been gone a whole crew of awesome students and volunteers have been working through the busy season with the bees. Even more importantly, we've got an amazing funding page up at Microryza! Science funded by the people! Also blogs, a facebook page, and features by the UW daily! Check it out!

[TheUWfarm] The Humble Feast: Local, affordable food!
Hey everybody!
Check out the information below about the Humble Feast, a locally sourced and affordable night of gourmet eating, happening on Monday July 23rd!
The Humble Feast is a series of dinner events prepared by Patty Pan Grill, Seattle's oldest farmers'
market concession. The dinners feature local ingredients sourced primarily from the farmers who are
Patty Pan's friends and neighbors at the markets. But the Humble Feast is also an idea, a practical
attempt to answer the question, how can we eat well without busting our budgets?
Some farmers' market organizations and sustainable foods groups host gala dinner events featuring
local celebrity chefs and regional specialties, costing more than many of us will spend on groceries
in an entire week. Patty Pan wants to promote a different vision of eating locally and sustainably.
Farm fresh food is everyday food, in all its glory.
The upcoming Humble Feast dinner will be held at Skelly and the Bean, a community supported
restaurant on north Capital Hill. Zephyr Paquette, the force behind the restaurant, opens her space
on Monday and Tuesday nights for incubator dinners featuring local chefs looking for a welcoming
space to host dinner events. This felt like a great fit for our Humble Feast series.
Come join us for dinner on Monday July 23rd. The menu is:
Lamb and Lentil Fillo Rolls
Seasonal Salad
Twisp Farro Salad
Minted Chickpeas with Summer Veggies
Mixed Berries with Whipped Cream and Toasted Hazelnuts
There will be vegan options available for all menu items.
Cost is $12/head, or $10 if you prepay.
There will be seatings at 5:30 and 7:00.
Skelly and the Bean is located at 2359 10th Ave E.
Tickets are available at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/259668

[TheUWfarm] Work and Harvest Parties on the Farm!
Hello, Farmers!
We have a few excellent farm events coming up, and I would like to tell you about them!
Firstly, we are having a HARVEST PARTY on Sunday! We begin at 2:30 at the CUH and go until we're done! This will be the first harvest party since the beginning of spring where our food will be delivered to HFS - perhaps not Sunday, but the following Monday or Tuesday. Yes, I know it's the last day of the Capitol Hill Block Party. That's why you should go earlier in the weekend, and have awesome stories to share while picking basil and pulling up carrots. Rain or shine, and expect to bring home some locally grown food for your kitchen, as well! I will be bringing a bunch of bread, and if enough people bring fixings we can relax and have a sandwich picnic in our beautiful surrounds after we've finished the day's work. If all goes well, you should stay tuned for more harvest parties and check the Google calendar on our website for more updates.
Secondly, next Saturday the 28th we are having a work party! The Farm is behind on volunteer hours for the UWBG, and so we will be filling as many of those as possible. Following that, we will be starting plants for fall harvest, amongst other things. The workparty will be from 11:00-3:00
I hope everyone is enjoying themselves these summer days!
Yours,
Rae
UW Farm Coordinator, CUH Space

[TheUWfarm] Garden Crew Needed at Rosehedge/Multifaith house
Farm folks!
Calling for volunteers to do a work party at the garden of a house supported by Rosehedge/Multifaith Works! Rosehedge/Multifaith Works serves vulnerable individuals living with chronic diseases. Currently the garden of the house I volunteer at really needs some work done - the rose hedge is kind of sad, and the backyard has enough weeds for sale =). We'll need help in
Cheers for sunshine and dirt,
Kay
UW Farmer

- trimming the ground cover
- raking
- pulling out weeds
- whatever you can think of to improve the yard!
