Hello People,

Do you use chores as a way to help clear your mind?

My #10yearchallenge is in #googledocs ... I have been doing work learning & organizing & educating in and about agriculture for over 10 years. These workshop agendas from 2008 still jam! So many thanks to my earlier food systems introductions from some true greats .. Liz Solomon was a wonderful teacher who picked up where my youth spent facilitating in #yruu left off, and brought me into the world of Training the Youth Trainer. And what trainers they were!! Kenroy, Shanisha, Bethsaida, Carla, Juan, and so many more... if you can hear me and you’re an #eatwise alum, speak up! If you’re a current youth activist, tell me about your work!

I saw this container garden outside of a public library while I was traveling. It’s so great & simple! Who among us hasn’t been like - thanks for this $500 mini-grant Home Depot, but how can I make a big impact with it?! This is like best use of a big box gift card, ever. Looks like they took community sponsorship for some boxes, too. The dedication plaque is a nice idea that i feel like could play well in#urbanagriculture . Swipe to see the pic of their swank ass patio, too. Oh also their kids room had a freaking robot dinosaur, nbd 🙄.

I’m home!! It’s been a whole month that I was away from the farm. I’ve never taken such a long time away, since we broke ground in 2013. There are a lot of personal reflections for me to sort through from this time away. For now, I’m grateful to be home, and grateful for the new memories collected with old friends.
