September 24, 2012 / / 0 Comments

 

Wednesday, October 3rd
6pm-8pm
Groundwork Somerville
24 Park St., #7
Somerville, MA 02143

 

You don’t have to be a farmer to keep chickens. Terry Golson has more than sixteen years of experience keeping a small flock of laying hens in her backyard that supply eggs for her family’s table. In this slideshow and lecture, Terry will share everything you need to know to get started with your own chickens. She’ll cover selecting the right breeds, housing, feed, and how to keep the hens healthy. Terry will talk about chicken behavior, predators, and daily chores. She’ll show you how she composts the manure and makes use of it in her garden. Terry speaks and writes frequently on this topic. You can find out more about her and her hens at www.HenCam.com.

Call for Volunteers

Sustainable Business Network of Massachusetts

Sustainable Business Network of Massachusetts is moving into high gear for planning of the 3rd annual Boston Local Food Festival  taking place at The Rose Kennedy Greenway on Sunday, October 7th from 11am-5pm and we are looking for volunteers to make this event as successful as it has been in previous years.  Our volunteers are a vital part of the success and execution of such a well received event.  We seek committed, enthusiastic and responsible people who would love to contribute, join in the local food movement, meet new folks, and have a lot of fun!

We are looking to engage both volunteer groups and individuals. If your organization can provide ten or more volunteers for the day of the event, we will assign them to a designated area/role, so that the event also becomes a team building opportunity for staff / students. If groups of less than ten volunteers join the event, we will try our best to also assign similar roles, but cannot guarantee this.  Individual volunteers are welcome to join any of the working groups.  Volunteer tasks include; zero-waste ambassadors, vendor coordination, set-up and break-down, demo and DIY support, fundraising, information and others.

To register please visit our website. http://bostonlocalfoodfestival.com/participate/volunteer-for-the-festival/ or email us at volunteers@bostonlocalfoodfestival.com.  For more information also please feel free to contact Juan Sanchez at juan@sbnmass.org or call 617.395.0250.   Advanced training will be provided and is required for participation.

We look forward to celebrating local food with you!
