Nutrient Dense Food Campaign Workshop CT.wmv

Phase One: FEASIBILITY STUDY

Lots has happened since the inception of the vision transition Udderly Woolly Acres in Glastonbury to become the educational center for growing NUTRIENT DENSE FOOD (see http://www.realfoodcampaign.org/ for more info or read previous posts) here in Connecticut. We met with Bob Bernstein, an experienced consultant & founder from LAND FOR GOOD who has assisted in over 300 Successful Farm Transfer of Ownerships, mid May with owners Tom & Joan Kemble. 

With his guidance we have officially launched our Phase One Initiative to raise $2500 to cover both consultant fees as well as hire an organizer to assist us in completing a FEASIBILITY STUDY by July 1st that will help us determine if we have enough support from the community to make this vision come true! In two weeks we have raised $900 towards this goal (thank you to all those who have generously supported the cause!) So we are almost half way to our goal! We need 17 more people to donate $100 by July 1st - are you someone passionate about food security issues that can invest? Please let us know - email Imani@thegreenvibration.com.
We were also thrilled to activate the vision with the Nutrient Dense Workshop on May 16th that was held on the farm and attended by over 40 local growers! The success of the vision must be held by many! Please join us on the farm on Sunday June 6th for a Wild Weed Walk led by the helpful gardener Scott Reill and ROOTS founder Lindsay Roepelle to discover what wild wonders on on the land, talk about future permadise plans as well as the benefits of nutrient dense foods (what, whys & hows...) from 4-6pm. Stay after for iced herbal tea & CONDUIT vibrational healing concert on the lawn....gong yourself to bliss! $25 donation goes to benefit the farm! Also, 50% of all proceeds from the sale of Imani's new release, The Absence of Soil, will go towards the farm!

Stay tuned for more info.....Sundays @ the farm will give you and your family to volunteer with harvesting this summer - we will share a picnic lunch, pull weeds, pick veggies & dream of a future where there is food for all!
