[TheUWfarm] Fwd: SLEE DINNER NEEDS VOLUNTEERS!

Hello Farmers!

I invite you to volunteer with me for the annual fund raising dinner for Community Alliance for Global Justice (CAGJ). CAGJ is an incredibly effective organization in Seattle working with labor and trade issues directly related to the local, national and global food system. Volunteering for the dinner is a great way to help out the almost entirely volunteer run organization, meet great people organizing around food justice issues AND eat delicious local food prepared exquisitely.

Below you will find information about all the volunteer needs of the dinner. I would love to see you there! you can email me or matt canfield (email below) with any questions!

Take care!

Ross

[TheUWfarm] This week at the Farm: Harvest, Honey, and Pizza Bake

Hey Folks-

Lots going on at the Farm:

Wednesday 8/21 from 9am-1pm, we'll be harvesting down at the CUH. And, as always, farmers get a cut of the produce. 

Saturday 8/24 from 10am-4pm at the Botany Greenhouse, we've got a whole day of action. We'll be assisting the Bee Course in their honey harvest, bring a container for extra honey! And in the afternoon we'll be baking pizzas in the wood-oven, bring some toppings to share. 

About the Bee Course:

The Bee Course is a summer internship program that teaches bee biology, pollination, and beekeeping in a scientific context. Students learn to keep bees and participate in group projects that investigate a certain aspect of the bee world. The course is funded by student fees, honey sales, and donations. Students also participate in community projects and the bee hives also serve the purpose of general public education.

Check the Facebook page for event details and the new Farm Schedule. 

Hope to see everyone out this week!
