Community Pot luck

CoLAB on Food Research at the UW
We are really excited to be co-sponsoring the CoLAB discussion series. Collaborating with Strangers workshops connect UW students, faculty, and researchers during 3-minute speed meetings. Participants exchange and generate ideas, building new partnerships to start or improve upon research projects. It might otherwise take you years to meet the people you'll connect with during one-on-one conversations. Details and RSVP here.

Folks interested in teaching kids about farming and sustainable agriculture, and/or would like to lead field trips at the Farm, give us a shout at theuwfarm@gmail.com.

Calling video production experts, we need your help creating a promotional video. Compensation will be in (a lot) fruit and veggies. If interested please email theuwfarm@gmail.com.
