What we would like to do...

So, we would like to take this chance to speak about some of our goals.

First of all, we must admit, we are involved for ourselves. Who would not be? I can think of few things better than a hot meal on my plate that was just pulled from the garden.

Other than combating our own hunger, we are seeking out a way to combat the hunger of other people.

We are setting aside roughly 20% of our space to grow food for those who may need some.

During the course of the events to come, our third major goal is education. We are teaching ourselves and each other new things everyday. Each of us has begun to develop new skills, discuss important issues, and find out how the goodness of people really can change the world one home at a time.

We are trying to explore the ideas of permaculture, local food production, community networks, active individual involvement (doing what one can do, when one can do it), becoming more self-sufficient, reducing our impact on the environment, ending hunger (in a more cultural context than a physical one), re-using resources and reducing the volume of our waste stream, and many many more.

Throughout the summer we will be having work parties, dinners, discussions, and events that seek to explore the variety of ways in which a person can be involved in the food production process... whether it is letting someone use an old shovel, growing a few starts for a friend, pitching in five bucks for the cause, making art for your favorite garden, or growing just one plant to grow food for those in need.

Whatever your interests and whoever you are, we believe that if you want to promote food security there are many ways in which you can participate. Let us know what you'd like to do or what you can do, and let's see what we can do together!

Have a glorious day!
