In just a couple of weeks, I’ll be speaking at the Seattle Green Festival on the subject of growing food.
Fresh food and food crops for the food bank
And, to be more precise, I’ll be speaking toward the idea of growing food to feed the needy. So, no, I’m not planning to give a seminar on how to plant a seed or a start or how to prep soil. I’ll likely touch on some of these subjects, and sure, I’ll mention some of my favorite crops that do well in our area (as well as some pests that thrive on them). But the true focus on my talk is on growing food locally to feed your immediate community. That community may include your family, your friends on the block, those who participate in land-share programs, those who patronize food banks, gleaning projects, and the like.
I know at least some readers out there are interested in attending this talk, so help me help you. Share in the comment section below here what you need to know to become someone who participates in ending hunger at a local level. And, share your thoughts soon, I’m fine-tuning my presentation over the next few days!
And, if you want to attend the Seattle Green Festival for free, tell me why in the comments here. If you’ve already requested a pass, don’t worry, I’ve got it and will be in touch a bit later with details.
