It's going to be a sunny May Edible Plant Sale this weekend in Wallingford! We're looking forward to seeing many of you out at the sale. We still need about 35 more volunteers to make the event a success. It's going to be tons of fun. If you're already signed up for a shift, thank you so, so much!
It'd be a huge help if you could sign up for any of the jobs or shifts below:

Hi everyone!
As part of the Student Health Consortium's Student Health Week (April 22nd-25th), we are hosting the first ever UW Campus Market on Wednesday, April 24th! If you could send this email to your respective listservs I would really appreciate it.
The Student Health Consortium's UW Campus Market will promote the importance of local, sustainable, and fresh foods available to students in the community, as well as celebrate delicious food. The market will provide nutritional information and address current health and food-related issues, as well as expose several local food sources available to the campus community.
Make sure you stop by the HUB patio from 11:30am-2:30pm for a flavorful experience at the first ever UW Campus Market on Wednesday, April 24th! Bring your appetite, lunch money, and curiosity to learn more about nutrition and the local food movement happening right now in our community.
Our very own UW Farm will provide the most local food possible--fresh produce from their farm at the CUH. Other RSO's, such as Real Food Challenge and UW Student Food Cooperative will contribute to the recognition and promotion of local, fresh foods, with information for you to get involved in the food movement. There will also be three Seattle food trucks stationed at the market site, including Buns Gourmet Natural Burgers, Box Natural Sushi, and Za'tar Seattle. All three food trucks locally source their ingredients, and value grass-fed meat, whole foods, and more. In addition, the student music group, San Juan, will be performing from 12:30pm-1:30pm at the market for all to enjoy while eating lunch and browsing the booths.
Some of the other local vendors and organizations will include:
Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance
Talking Rain "Sparkling Ice"
Hope Heart Institute
Relay for Life
See you all there on April 24th for an afternoon full of celebrating good food, it's direction towards great health, and it's impact on our community!
Sincerely,
Leah Todd

Hey lovely farmers!This Friday, April 19th, the Farm needs some volunteers to help table at the Earth Day Celebration in Red Square. The event starts setting up at 9:30 and will end at 2pm. If you are able to come and help out, that would be wonderful! Even if you are able to only table for an hour or two, we still really need the help.This is a great way to let the UW community know about our organization and the ways we get involved on campus.Please let me know if you can table and what times you are willing.Cheers,June--
UW Farm Outreach Coordinator

Hey Farmers!
Check out this amazing opportunity working with a non-profit organization that focuses on community-based projects and becoming knowledgable about the world food system on a local and global scale. The information about MESA is listed below and a flyer is attached to the e-mail as well.
Cheers,
June
I'm Jaclyn, the International Programs Intern at Multicultural Exchange for Sustainable Agriculture. After working at the Dartmouth Organic Farm following graduation and then on a farm in WI, I have made my way farther west to MESA - a nonprofit organization based in Berkeley that connects farmers and food justice advocates for experiential training and cultural exchange to build resilient food systems. The mission is to support small-scale farmers and advance the next generation by linking innovations with ancestral knowledge worldwide to promote ecosystem stewardship, localized food economies and cultural awareness.
Given your group's interest in sustainable food systems, I wanted to let you know about an upcoming trip that may be of interest to your members: MESA's Certificate in Global Agroecology and Local Food Systems in Peru this summer. Participants will train alongside farmers and MESA Alumni, learn from experts and engage in workshops and community-based projects that reinforce their academic coursework. Curriculum and fieldwork will explore traditional Peruvian agriculture, farmer-to-farmer exchange, agroecology practices, local market drivers, social movements and agricultural reform. The project-based education and community fieldwork experience will equip beginning farmers and advocates with the skills to repair our global food system. MESA's diverse and experienced team of alumni and faculty are eager to provide participants with a compelling academic curriculum, language study and immersion, cooperative learning, mentorship and participatory work experience.
Please feel free to contact MESA directly at 510-654-8858 or send me an email at jaclyn@mesaprogram.org.
Yours in Sustainability,
Jaclyn and the MESA team
