Fall Workshops: Hunger 101

The second of our fall workshops shifts gears slightly from gathering together to eat to thinking about those who often do not have enough to eat - and if you think that the two aren't somehow related then you definitely need to plan on attending this workshop to find out just how intertwined we all are these days. These are the kinds of things that the indefatigable Katie Cook will be addressing in this workshop we've entitled: Hunger 101. Why are people hungry? How did we get to this point? What's being done about it? What could be done? What can I do? In a season and time of the year when many of us have so much to be thankful for these are the kinds of questions we need to be reminded to ask and Katie is a wonderful guide.

Katie has spent a good part of her adult life thinking, writing and advocating about these issues and in her role at Seeds of Hope Publishers has acquired not only a good bit of wisdom on the topic but a humility that encourages both learning and action. So sign up now and join us on November 29th for an evening of prayerful learning, discussion and seeking together hope for the hungry.

Fall Workshops: Simply In Season at the Farm

We've got some really exciting workshops coming up this fall (which despite the STILL warm weather will be here in a few weeks, trust us it really will!) that we wanted to make everyone aware of.

The first is a great opportunity to get involved in local food production, and even better its involvement on the delicious end of local food production - i.e. gathered around a table and eating some delicious freshly prepared local cuisine. Every Tuesday in November we'll be hosting an evening of dining on and talking about local, seasonal food. We've got four wonderful local chefs and foodies lined up to facilitate and host each evening and they're going to be sharing lots of great little tips and secrets about eating local and why they think it is important. Included in the cost of the workshop will be four wonderful farm fresh meals, a copy of the Simply in Season cookbook, and four evenings of great fellowship and discussion. Be sure and sign up early because space is limited and treat yourself to a little taste of fall!
