Today is the last day to donate to meet Rise & Root Farm's $10,000 goal for our new community kitchen! We are less than $1,500 away and need your help to get there: http://bit.ly/2fr2NBY
What do we hope to create in our new space? We'll be inspired by our backgrounds and what we grow on our farm.
Pictured here are plum jam filled sweet buns, which inspired Michaela to start on the road to food preservation, and a variety of vinegar-based and fermented pickles. We will use the new community kitchen as a hub to teach these techniques to other food-based businesses and the community at large!

We're finally building out a kitchen where we can unpack our things and share them with others. Help us hook it up with some kitchen equipment you can be proud of! And get yourself some mad perks including classes, dinners and a party in the new space! Donate and spread the word: www.igg.me/at/RiseRootKitchen

Let's keep the momentum going! We have six days left for our campaign to build a community kitchen: https://goo.gl/o6INmK

Awesome article about the incredible possibilities of Koji.

Today, some American chefs are using the fungus called koji in nontraditional ways.

Please join Rise & Root Farm this Saturday as we offer up our farm to help process the violence from this past week and month. We invite you to get your hands dirty in the soil, feel the sun on your face, listen to the bullfrogs and the birds, and be with other great people. We'll be on the farm from 9am to 2pm, and you are welcome at any point during those hours.
Please RSVP at the link below, because space is limited.
Once you RSVP, we'll send you directions to the farm. Please reply on this Facebook post if you are available to drive others in from the city.
Sending out our love,
Jane, Karen, Lorrie, and Michaela
