[TheUWfarm] International Agriculture experience to share?

Farm Ed is planning an international agriculture session and would
like to include reports from people with a range of experiences.
Have you WWOOF'ed abroad? Or worked through an agricultural development
organization? Or in other ways got your hands dirty outside the US?
Please be in touch with Jennifer (ruesink@u.washington.edu) if you
would be willing to share some stories, pictures, and contacts in
a session in mid-November.

Farm Ed meets 8:30-9:30 Thursdays. Tomorrow's task is to build a
compost pile!

[TheUWfarm] compost crew meeting 8-9 Oct 29

Farmers,

I plan to have a compost crew meeting this Tuesday (0ct 29) from 8-9am
as usual. We will harvest the compost and mix it with soil harvested
from Mercer. We will also have Prof Jenn Ruesink coming in to talk about
experimental method and design in ecology.

Please let me know if you ARE COMING so that I can call it off if no one
is (so Jenn doesn't have to talk to an empty room!!!). No need to reply
to this email if you plan to skip (I will totally understand. Blame the
quarter system). Thanks!

Enjoy the pretty autumn colors,
Kay

[TheUWfarm] Farm Ed - Thurs 9:30 at the Botany Greenhouse

This week's Farm Ed topic is "weeding". Learn what makes weeds
such effective occupants of farmed areas. Learn to identify some
of the common weeds. Get hands-on experience with the tools of the
trade for weed control. Weeds might not seem like such a compelling
topic for education, but they're a big part of what goes on in
Seattle's growing spaces at this time of year, and therefore
both fascinating and important agricultural topics. Farm Ed meets
each week at 9:30 Thursdays at the Botany Greenhouse, all invited.

[TheUWfarm] Fwd: Help on Firday!

Hi Farm Friends,

Is there a group or list of folks I can reach out to for help with field trips besides you two?  If so, send it along!

Also, I need help Friday.  The teacher changed plans around (of course) after I committed to a study group.  The schedule looks like this:

11:15-11:30 - Students arrive and have lunch (at farm or CUH if raining)

12-1 - Tour (of UW Farm with possible connection to restoration area)

1pm - creative writing (somewhere nearby - either outside the library or around the farm.

50 middle schoolers!!!  and 10 parent chaperones

I can be there around 12:10 - 1:10 so I just need someone to be around for lunch and writing, which the teacher will take care of.  And if ANYONE wants to help with the tour, we could probably split up the groups which would be way easier!

[TheUWfarm] Student Farmers Abroad!

Hello Farmers!

My name is Ross Kirshenbaum, I was a part of UW farm leadership for two years until last year, when I spent 10 months living and working in Nicaragua with small-farmers while receiving academic credit.

Today at 2:30pm, I will be presenting in Anderson Hall room 22 about my time in Nicaragua working with renewable energy incorporated with rural farm systems, small-scale producers and their transition to organic agriculture.

I will also be talking about opportunities for students to plan and fund similar trips abroad for school credit! I will be promoting the UW Farm a whole bunch so it would be great to see you there if you can make it!

Thank you!!

Best,

Ross
