We spent this last weekend at Tryon Life Community Farm in Portland, OR. This months class was focused on Urban Permaculture, appropriate technology, food forests and rocket stoves. To be fair we bailed out on Saturday afternoon to go to the Portland farmers market but the rest of the weekend was interesting. Now I know that I NEED a rocket stove. I must have one and a heated bench to go with it. Maybe even two. Maybe more I haven't really decided yet. So stay tuned, we will be having a rocket stove workshop in the near future.
As to the secret escape to the farmers market- it was fantastic. We met two farmers there. One who is possibly interested in passing on his CSA and market booth to a new farmer. Interesting, no? The other farmer promised to teach me how to butcher a sheep. That wasn't really on my radar until he got so excited about it that I got excited too. It was sort of a strange moment for me. I am not the same person that I was several years ago. Vegetarian to sheep butcher. Life takes strange turns sometimes. Anyway lots of possibilities. Life is good.
