The Yardstead

Just a quick note to pass along some info about a local Home Grown Food group in Tallahassee, Fl. See detail below:

Here in the Tallahassee area we have another potentially great website called Home Grown Food.
It is a place to exchange information on home gardening.

This is the address:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/homegrownfood/


Description

A group for people in and around Tallahassee who want to participate in local food production. As a member of the Network, you can connect with other local people who want to exchange, trade, borrow, or lend any of the following:

*Labor ("I'll work in your garden on Tuesday and you can help me in mine on Friday")
*Information ("I just learned this great way to control garden pests naturally...")
*Equipment ("Sure you can use my chainsaw. Can I borrow your roto-tiller?")
*Plants and seeds ("I'll trade you a few of my cantaloupe seedlings for some carrot seeds")
*Food ("I'll trade you some of my tomatoes for some of your blueberries")
*Inspiration, ideas and vision ("Anybody got any ideas about how I can turn my backyard into the Garden of Eden?")

The goal of this group is to build a community of cooperation and support around producing healthy local food in a way that is good for the environment, too.

If you are not already a member of this group and are interested in vegetable gardening, I encourage you to join.
