Well. Many of you have been asking how our pig event was. Honestly, it took us a few days to digest the weekend, and the pork. Now that our many brilliant photographers have edited and uploaded their photos, and we’re ready to fill you in. We think the pictures say quite a bit.

We just found out about this terrific project – check them out! 
After working on Organic Farms in VT, founder David Stockhausen moved to San Francisco to learn about urban food movements. The result is Amyitis Gardens, a San Francisco based urban farming project that links empty yards to eager hands and backyard farms to neighborhood restaurants. The Amyitis team educates future urban farmers, installs backyard organic farms and often sells portions of the produce to restaurants as close as a few blocks away. Amyitis strives to empower the Mission District community through healthy food, farm education, and creative networking. They believe “you don’t have to buy the farm to be the farmer”. Amyitis encourages farmers everywhere to create a truly sustainable global food system throug bold innovation….maybe one back yard at a time.
The Greenhorns documentary will be shown at this Film Festival! Perhaps you’d like to host a screening? Or organize a festival yourselves? We thought so. And so we made a nifty little document detailing How to Start a Film Festival. Download it HERE and call us when you’re ready.
the people at Worldbike think so.
Worldbike designs and distributes low-cost bicycles for programs that increase economic opportunity, improve health outcomes and boost enrollment and gender equity in secondary school among the rural poor. Our bikes withstand large loads, rough terrain and inclement weather and are configured to be not only affordable, but also maintained and repaired locally. Through partnership with international and local agencies, private companies, foundations and NGOs, Worldbike helps arrange microcredit financing for bike purchases and supplement sales with support from funders and private donors.
Talk politics. Meet folks. Share seeds.

from the Hudson Valley Seed Library! Here’s the latest from our pal Ken. 
Even though the leaves are brown and many gardeners have already laid their beds to rest, seed season is still in full bloom. That’s because the new Art Packs are here, replacing the lost colors of summer and keeping our hopes for next year’s gardens bright.
I recently came across an old quote by 19th-Century garden writer and Catskills resident Hanna Rion that summed up how I feel about the pairing of our seeds with artists:
“The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses.” Continue Reading »
