The Big Chill Edition
January 14, 2010

Hope everyone is enjoying this tropical weather. After a week of fighting frozen waterlines and frozen equipment we are really enjoying the heat wave. It seems as though the cold weather has done a number on all of the diesel engines around the farm and on all of our vehicle's batteries but at least it got rid of the mud for a while. Well just to look on the bright side, the days are getting longer & it will soon be time to start filling the greenhouse with vegetables for our garden so spring is just around the corner.

Take care, eat local, and stay warm.

Join Us For "Fresh" The Movie at Catawba College Jan 28

The documentary FRESH, dubbed "a fresh look at food production," will be shown at the Center for the Environment facility on the Catawba College campus at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 28. The screening, co-sponsored by the Center, Bread Riot and Wild Turkey Farms, offers a positive message about small farms and local food.
A panel discussion will follow with Dr. Chris Magryta of Salisbury Pediatrics, Maggie Blackwell of the Salisbury City Council and Bread Riot, Lee Menius of Wild Turkey Farms and Libby Post of Rowan/Salisbury Schools. Bread Riot will prepare a reception. FRESH is a grassroots effort to grow fresh food and ideas. Filmmaker Ana Sofia Joanes is releasing the movie to small groups to "mimic the food movement in that what's really growing is not different food but a new awareness. You cannot create a new vision or shift of consciousness from the top down," she says. "It must come from...the bottom up."

The screening and discussion are free and open to the public. All you have to do is register here http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07e2oalovxac2417d8&oseq=a021qpfeviklwu
