Come network and be encouraged by other folks in the area involved in sustainable agriculture, natural gardening, homesteading, intentional living, and the local food movement. We will also be hearing from our good friend Ben Coleman of Mountain Run Farm as he shares insights from a recent trip they took as a family to Costa Rica. Some of Ben’s topics will include what he gleaned about their lifestyle of simplicity in Costa Rica, the freedom of small-scale agricultural enterprises there, and what steps we can take to emulate a similar path of sustainability as families and a community. As a local community looking to increase our agricultural and economic self-sufficiency, there is much we can learn from communities all over the world. Get connected and get involved. We look forward to seeing you there! ================================

]]> Wendell Berry video interview at Land and Table Wendell Berry video interview at Land and Table[/caption] Happy New Year! Happy New Year everyone! We are thankful for all of you who have been involved in the Land and Table community and the local food movement in the Lynchburg regional area over this past year. It has been a delight to help facilitate connections among local farmers, foodies, families and others who are passionate about healthy eating, sustainable agriculture, intentional living and local community. 2014: A Year of Learning As we began in December we will continue in this new year – with our monthly community potlucks featuring skill sharing, peer learning or presentations of interest. Our focus for 2014 is on learning but not on mere head knowledge. We will be attempting to explore: traditional skills (that our generation has forgotten – like soap making, plowing with horses, chicken butchering, etc), sustainable modes of agriculture, community resilience, and other essentials for holistic agrarian and intentional living. We Want To Hear Your Ideas So…we want to hear from you! If you have any ideas for presentations, speakers or skills you would like us to feature this year at our monthly gatherings please let us know. Bring your ideas on Tuesday, leave a comment in the comment section below this article or contact us. This Tuesday: Wendell Berry Interview For our first Land and Table gathering of the year we will be beginning with a presentation of interest. We will be featuring the recent Bill Moyers video interview of Wendell Berry with a discussion afterwards. Mr. Berry is, in my estimation, one of the fathers of the local food movement and an outspoken advocate for relocalizing our agricultural economies and rebuilding local community. I believe he is one of the most important prophetic voices of our times – calling us in this time of crisis back to a life that honors our Creator, His Creation and community. Don’t Forget! If you have never been to one of our monthly community potlucks please consider yourself officially invited. If you can’t make it this time please mark your calendar for the first Tuesday of each month. We would love to see you sometime soon!

DETAILS:

WHAT WILL WE BE DOING?
  • Community Potluck
  • Networking (hang out with friends and meet some new ones)
  • Watching a video interview of Wendell Berry and discussing.
  • Sharing ideas for presentations we’d like to see this year at our monthly gatherings.
COME PREPARED:

The next gathering for the Land and Table Network is coming up this Tuesday, March 5th. As always, this will be a great chance for networking with like-minded folks in the local food movement, eating together, sharing ideas, and moving towards collaborative action to promote sustainable agriculture, intentional living and local food in the Lynchburg regional area. This time around we will be ‘Dreaming of Spring!’ and discussing our plans for Spring, including organizing a ‘Farm Hop’ series starting in April – where we will move the Land and Table gatherings around to different farms within our network…and who knows, maybe beyond! Last year we made a few attempts at this new format but it never really got off the ground. This year though we hope to use this as a means to highlight the good work of hardworking, local, sustainably-minded farmers and possibly even take it one step further with some crop mobs. If you’d like to be a part of the conversation come join us! ______________________________________________
WHEN:  Tuesday, March 5th, 2013 | 4:30 – 7:30 PM (potluck starts around 5:00 – discussion begins around 6:15) WHERE: Mountain Run Farm saloon (near pond) in Sedalia (Bedford County) For directions go to: MountainRunFarm.com DETAILS: Bring a healthy, homemade dish to share and… your own dishware (plates, silverware, cups, etc.)!
