Hey I'd like to find a local source for some chickens, the eatin' kind. Preferably organic and free range and not frozen either. Heck, I'd even help kill 'em if that option was available.

Anybody know where I can buy some?

It seems weird to start an essay with an obituary, but here goes. This is from the Seattle Times earlier this year:

I was riding up 5th Ave. today at around 11 AM and I noticed Camp Quixote in its new spot at the First United Methodist Church. I would be interested in more information about the move. Did it go well? Congratulations on what looks like a successful move.

Workshop presented by Marisha Auerbach Sunday October 14th 12pm to 4 PM Meeting at the Evergreen Organic Farmhouse Located at the Evergreen Organic Farm, 2712 Lewis Rd., Olympia, WA Hands-on projects will take place at Demeter's Garden Mushrooms are an integral part of the environment in the Pacific Northwest. They are rarely used in landscaping. Permaculture draws on examples from nature to create abundant landscapes based in ecological systems. We would like to invite our fungal allies to return to the garden and assist us in creating abundance through their relationships. During this workshop, we will discover the functions of mushrooms in an ecosystem and the different techniques for incorporating them in the home garden. Hands-on projects will include: establishment of outdoor mushroom beds, mycorrhizal inoculants, and other fun projects. Please join us as we consciously welcome mushrooms into our landscapes and gardens. Feel free to bring a dish to share. Sponsored by: Environmental Resource Center, Terra Commons, Olympia Mycelial Network, Center for Community-Based Learning and Action, Demeter's Garden, GRuB and the Gleaners Coalition For more information, feel free to contact: Michael Kelly (360) 866-1331 terracommons@riseup.net Maya Elson maya@riseup.net
