This is a FREE event but we ask that you RSVP.
Calling all: regenerative farmers, homegrowers, organic gardeners, bread bakers, kombucha brewers, chicken wranglers, raw milk renegades, new agrarians, local food advocates, back-to-landers, wannabees, and anyone obsessed with whole foods, self-reliance, and a life lived rooted in the land!
Join us on Tuesday, October 15 (6-8pm) at the Sedalia Center (Blue Room) in northern Bedford County for the October Land & Table potluck and a different kind of open community forum. Instead of one preset topic we will be inviting YOUR questions related to food and farming. You help direct the conversation! Some examples of potential ‘wild card’ forum questions:
- What can I do to help my kombucha stop tasting like vinegar?
- Should I encourage my chickens to lay eggs in the winter or let them take a break?
- How can I get more fermented foods into my family’s diet?
- How can I eat local on a budget?
- Where do I get local raw milk?
- Are cow farts really destroying the earth?
- Can I use dead leaves in my compost?
- Deer are decimating my garden – what do I do?
- Who can teach me how to do beekeeping?
- What’s your favorite pumpkin soup recipe?
- Why is Wendell Berry the Chuck Norris of the local food movement? 😉
From the kitchen to the pasture we all have problems to solve, mysteries to unravel, or things to learn. This is your chance to mine the minds from fellow travelers on this journey of resilience, agrarian living, and holistic eating. Don’t miss it!
