Food resiliency means having diverse sources of nutrients so that when one fails, you have options. Mushrooms can be a great source of nutrients and are totally possible to grow at home. Our friend Xander will train us on spores and how to inoculate and care for your own mushroom log, and potentially also how to do this with local strains you find in your backyard! Parking is free at the farm and all are welcome!
Have you ever wondered how utilities and governments understand, plan and manage the vast amounts of water flowing through their communities? Hear the planning and global information systems perspective. What tools exist to map out the array of water infrastructure in your communities?
