Hello there,

Share in the Harvest Local Groups!

Share in the Harvest is a social group that connects people in the area who want to offer homegrown food. You can share veggies, herbs, fruit, eggs, and more! Please feel free to ask for what you’re seeking, too. Here are some new groups I started in the last 3 days. Drive less, grow more food, share with neighbors = building community!

Special thanks to Lauren Peterson of Vancouver for her graphic design.

Which group is right for you? Please share ways this could be better. The video at the end is 6 minutes long and explains how to get one of these up and running in .. about 6 minutes. Enjoy.

Yes, it’s time for a new face for the SW corner of the Lone Fir Cemetery, dontcha think?  Here’s a petition to create a community garden. Please sign and encourage your friends too, thanks!
