Seed Saving & Sharing Party!

Hello neighbors,

Zenger Farm's November workshop is coming up this Tuesday! We’d love to see you there and would appreciate your help spreading the word in southeast Portland. Participants can sign-up online http://tinyurl.com/outersefarmertraining or with prairie@zengerfarm.org or 503-282-4245.


Seed Saving & Sharing Party
Tuesday, November 5th, 6:00 - 8:30 PM
Location: Zenger Farm.

Learn seed saving techniques and enjoy an end of season potluck and celebration. You are welcome to bring extra seeds to share or swap. If you would like help threshing and winnowing your seeds, please bring them.

·         No cost, donations encouraged
·         Language interpretation and childcare can be provided if requested one week prior

The Outer Southeast Farmer Training Project is a collaborative effort between Zenger Farm and the Powellhurst-Gilbert Neighborhood Association, designed to support market gardeners and Community Supported Agriculture entrepreneurs in developing business and farming skills. The Outer Southeast Farmer Training Project is community based, in that the participants themselves decide and design their training curricula and networking opportunities. Using a collective action-reflection model for defining the project’s trajectory is at times more work than simply attending predesigned trainings, but is ultimately more empowering and tailored to fit the needs of resident farmers in Outer Southeast Portland.

Newsletter Story Submission Deadline

Mt. Scott-Arleta Neighborhood Association Newsletter Story Submission We want to know what's going on in your neighborhood. Do you have news to share? Would you like to see it published on the blog and in our newsletter? Here's how to get the word out... Deadline : Feb 26th (but sooner the better!) EMAIL story/announcement to this email note: Ideally we'd like to include more information in the newsletter, versus a bunch of presentations at our meeting. We hope that this will clear up some room in our agenda, so we can focus on 'getting things done' and getting to know one another on a personal level. (More people receive the newsletter than come to the neighborhood meetings.) Of course we will still have announcements and presentations, but hopefully we can streamline the effort with using the newsletter as an additional tool. And please (!) let me know if you are interested in helping with this communications effort. Thanks, Terah Beth  | visit Mt. Scott...
