Submitted Mon, 2008-04-21 09:30 — Sundog

Hi everyone-
Sunbow Farm will be at the Wed. and Saturday Corvallis Farmers Market starting April 19th. We are also in Portland at People's coop farmers market on Wed. To come to the farm and pick up fresh picked produce- please pre- order with James at 929-5068.
Also- field fresh produce without market prep/transporting is less expensive- please ask for it.

Harry is doing batches of compost tea more often now- we sell compost tea for $3/gallon. You need a 5 gallon bucket with a lid and use it within 4 hours. Get on the list and we will notify you by email a few days before it's available. We also sell compost at $10 for 1/2 yard- you bring a truck.Tim here on the farm can deliver in the Corvallis area- his number is 929-5068. Tim also does gardening work if you need help- he has farmed here for many years!

Thanks- Cheri and Harry

April 27 — Instructor: Harry MacCormack
A history buff who has written extensively on all forms of agriculture through the ages, Harry believes those topics have particular relevance in our current transition situation.

This workshop is an exploration of a range of food production designs from thousands of years of experience in many cultures prior to the age of inexpensive petroleum. For those concerned about our local food futures, this is essential information upon which to make informed decisions.

Her story — the often untold saga of how human decisions regarding food and fiber effect interactive life forces
His story — decisions, discoveries, innovations and their implementations as food production over the ages
