RT @AgrarianSharing: What does community-based, applied biodiversity look like? We began today thinning flats of composite Brassica populations in Marvin's greenhouse before heading over the creek for our traditional February 'scion-and-rootstock prepping party' and potluck at Marjorie's farm-cidery.

Early in March, we kick off our network of spring propagation fairs. It's a modest schedule this year, beginning in Williams, OR, and then continuing, every weekend, somewhere different, through mid-April. For now, we're everywhere, pruners-in-hand, collecting material to share.
