Fun educational event at New Roots on Saturday June 29th! In March 2013 five New Roots Growers attended the Just Food Conference in NYC http://www.justfood.org/events/just-food-conference-2013. Growers attended interactive workshops on Beekeeping, Integrated Pest Management, Soil Prep, Lacto-fermentation, Cheese Making, Aquaponics, as well as Farm Bill Activism, Community engagement, Farm Worker Rights, and much more! They wanted to bring back some of their new knowledge to share with folks in SD so please come celebrate and learn with us next Saturday June 29th from 9am-1pm at the New Roots Community Farm (located at 54th and Lea) Workshops from 9am-1pm and potluck at 1pm. Please bring a dish to share and your own cup and plate if possible!

CSA!!!

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) in San Diego is launching a 15-week CSA starting February 14 with produce from the IRC's sustainable agriculture program for refugees at its incubator farm in Pauma Valley (the former Tierra Miguel land). CSA members can choose between a full share and a half share to enjoy chemical-free, locally grown seasonal produce each week while supporting our refugee neighbors in rebuilding productive lives for themselves and their families. (Here's a recent news story about one of the participating refugee farmers: http://dailynightly.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/01/07/16396959-refugees-discover-new-ways-to-plant-roots-in-america?lite.) All the details for the CSA, along with registration links, are here: http://www.rescue.org/us-program/us-san-diego-ca/irc-community-supported-agriculture. As of right now, we have one pick-up point on Thursday afternoons at the IRC office on University Avenue and 54th Street. If ten or more members can identify an additional drop-site for their shares, we'd be more than happy to explore delivering there as well (possibly on Friday mornings).
