Charlie Collins Goes to the White House: A Message from Victory Farms

Charlie Collins of Victory Farms has been nominated to become the White House Farmer!  But he needs your vote.  Just visit http://whitehousefarmer.com now - the voting will close at midnight on January 31st.

We would love to see the new administration take a strong stand on sustainable agriculture and I can't think of a better farmer to help out President Obama on this!

Please vote and tell all your friends and family - we need to bombard them with votes!

Thank you so much,

Gina

A Message from David at Salsa In Small Places

Hello All,

We're going to be having another big planting weekend at Salsa in Small Places on Robious Road. It's time to get potatoes, onion sets, radishes, and a few more turnips in the ground and we would like you to join us!

We're going to get started around 8:30 in the morning and there will be opportunities to:

Plant Potatoes & onion sets
Plant Turnips & Radishes using our handy seeder
Cut and trim bamboo for trellises to be used later in the season

Whether you're skilled at gardening or simply enthusiastic about locally grown produce, we're happy to have you join us and share experiences on the farm.

If you can't join us on this Saturday (March 21, 2008) but still want to get your hands dirty, then consider helping out during the week; we can always use another set of hands!

Hope to see you on Saturday (March 21, 2008) down on the farm at Salsa in Small Places!
