[TheUWfarm] Volunteering for SAF and Rototilling Madness!

Hello farmers!

A couple of things to update you all on:

We are tabling at the SAF fair on Wednesday and Thursday!  I initially sent out a doodle poll that did not encompass all the times, so here is a link to the new poll!  If you are available to get the word out about how awesome the UW Farm is, please sign up for a shift.  The times are 9:30-2:30.  (Apologies to the Farm Visioners, who will be receiving this twice.)

Also, for those of you who don't know yet, last week we got a ROTOTILLER for the CUH site!  It was a great adventure, and if anyone would like to be educated as to the ins and outs of rototiller operation and get a chance to rototill some of the UW Farm, please join me at 9:30 this Thursday morning!  (That's Sept 29th.)  Please shoot me an Email at raelou@uw.edu if you intend to show up.

Hey everyone! I'm recruiting for the fall volunteer crew ('Dirty Dozen') at the UW FARM!
We will meet monday mornings at 7:30 and have potluck style- breakfasts, make the to-do list for the week, and teach each other about the in and outs of running a student farm! It's always great fun!

And being on the crew means committing to two hours of volunteering a week! booya!

This is a really fun and great way to meet fellow farmers/ students and learn about growing food! Please let me know asap if you're interested!

Also- look forward to a field trip at some point in the quarter! In the past we've gone on weekend trips to farms on the San Juans, Southwestern Washington, and others. Always a blast!

Feel free to email me with questions. Our first meeting will be Monday the 3rd at 7:30 in the Botany Greenhouse and Orientation will be that next weekend!

yipeee!

Hi!

I'm looking for edible mushroom cultures. If you grow mushrooms, would you be willing to trade for a dozen beautiful eggs from my hens?

Thanks!
