[TheUWfarm] Farm Hours This Week!

Hola!

School is soon approaching and the farm needs more love now than ever!
Many farmers are busy this week - so if anyone can just stop by to
water or weed a smidge, it would make a world of difference! Seriously
- the farm needs some love! There is just a lot of general up-keeping
(like watering, weeding) that needs to be done, as well as adding some
compost to beds - some plants are ready to get out there and grow!

These are my hours this week if anyone would like to swing by and help
(and have a buddy there to keep you company)!

Monday
10 - 12:30

Tuesday
10 - 1

Wednesday
10 - 1

Thursday
10 - 1

Friday
10 - 1

Hours may be scooted around and expect another CUH volunteer hours day
soon - this week even! Feel free to email me or give me a call at 425
941 0396 if you wanna meet up and farm!

Best,
Kelly

[TheUWfarm] September FarmMonth Newsletter Now Available!

Hi Farmers!

Check out the September 2011 newsletter by clicking here! We will be back at the beginning of autumn quarter with more updates and news from around the community!

[TheUWfarm] Farm Hours

Hola!

Hey everyone! Due to a lot of people being out of town and busy right
before school, we have fewer people around the farm - we could always
use more help! We are amidst tidying things up before dog days events.
Even if you can only stop by for a few minutes to water, that still
would help (watering is oh so important)! So you don't feel alone on
the farm, here are the hours I will be around!

Also, on Friday it would be awesome to get as many people as possible
down to the new space at CUH (need directions? check out the farm
website at http://students.washington.edu/uwfarm/ or email me for more
info)! We need volunteer hours down there in order to keep our new
space! The more the merrier! Please show if you can - I could also use
the company. :) I will be there from 12 - 3! If anyone needs a ride, I
can drive and pick people up from the farm!

Week of 9/5 - 9/9
Tuesday
11 - 3

Wednesday
11 - 3

Thursday
11 - 3

Friday
12 - 3 --> Down at CUH volunteering!

Want to help out around the farm and not be alone, but those hours
don't jive for you? Feel free to email me and I will gladly scoot my
hours around!

Best,
Kelly

[TheUWfarm] Fall Quater CHICKEN CREW

Hey Everyone,

Hope you are soaking up the last weeks of summer as well as getting excited for fall quarter. New classes means we need a new crew to take care of the girls.  

If you've been looking for a fun way to get involved with the farm with a very small time commitment this is for you!  Weekly shifts only take 5-10 minutes, you get to keep all the eggs you find and the hens are really fun to work with.  

Please fill out the following poll with days/times that work best for you.  Only the dates of the first week are listed but each day/time represents that slot for the whole quarter.

We will be having trainings for new folks and a crew get together/pot luck closer to the start of school so stay posted and fill out that poll!!

As always if you have any questions feel free to email me.

Bawk!

Hello,

You received an earlier message this summer in June about getting involved in the Real Food Challenge movement through summer leadership trainings.  Guess what?  There is a training coming to you, right here in Seattle, NEXT WEEK!  From September 16 - 18, a group of 25 students from UW and other schools will come together for a weekend of learning, teamwork, and friendship through collaborative efforts around the topic of campus food sustainability.  We want you to join us!  Below, you will find what you can expect from the training.  Visit www.realfoodchallenge.org to learn more, or reply to this email with any questions you may have.

Real Food Challenge at UW

***

Each summer, RFC holds several regional leadership trainings, where campus real food leaders meet to learn about, reflect on, harvest, and cook real food in preparation for the coming academic year.

 

What can you expect from an RFC Leadership Training?

 

• RFC and Movement 101: Introductions to the history of the Real Food Challenge and the larger food movement, including conversations on oppression and privilege in the context of food systems & avenues for mobilizing community power for positive social change.

• Leadership Development: Workshops on strategic campaign planning, story telling, group facilitation, creative event planning, dining service contracts, and engaging community stakeholders.

• Field trips to local farms and real food organizations

• Community: Connect with new partners in this national student movement! Enjoy group meals, late-night jam sessions and dance parties with new friends!

• Plans for the future: Students leave with new friends, concrete skills, and action plans, equipped with REAL goals for REAL change on campus come September.

This summer's trainings are coming soon! Join us for another powerful weekend of workshops, cooking, skill-shares, storytelling, strategizing, and all-around fun. Click here for more information!

 

Check out highlights from some of our past training!
