RT @AgrarianSharing: I’m consistently struck by the joy in evidence at our work-party potlucks. It makes sense, of course: biocultural integrity and genius at work—good people, one body, freely sharing the yield of land and labor. Eucharistic, really. A small local preview of the feast to come.

Good News? Not a slogan, but deep incarnation as bio-cultural fact: a quiet gospel of increase, seeding the seed commons. The @AgrarianSharing Seed Increase Initiative circles up this weekend: a people learning a covenant no ledger can hold.

Just another reminder that the ASN Seed Increase Initiative (ASNSII) will be hosting our Third Annual Rendez-Vous this Sunday, November 9, at 32821 Tate Road, Creswell, OR, from 10.00a.m. - 3.00 p.m. Bring seeds! Bring screens! Bring a potluck dish! We'll be visiting, feasting, sorting seed, and co-ordinating plans for 2026 seed increases and breeding work. And we welcome new faces interested in joining our team of seed-increase volunteers for the 2026 season. No experience is necessary: we provide support and training. I so treasure these occasions when folk dynamically inhabiting the innermost heart of the reinhabitory foodshed movement, and potlucks, conjoin, eucharistically. It feels like the whole point of it all, frankly.

Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @Plough @CalebCoyGuard Food is where modernity's broken metaphysic becomes concrete, measurable, edible. If we heal how a people grow, share, and honor food, we're not doing a side project; we're tending to the taproot of collective life, the foundation beneath the foundation.Quoted by@Plough @CalebCoyGuard Food is where modernity's broken metaphysic becomes concrete, measurable, edible.
