Be sure to make it to the bottom for the Fresh Abundance Holiday Schedule!

I know this is crazy but I am so excited about the new farm I don't even want to sleep anymore. Remember when you were a kid and it was your birthday the next day and it was excruciating trying to get through the moments. That is how it is for me about the p.e.a.c.h. Community Food system model that we are launching. As we get all the parts of the model working it will provide local food for everyone at reasonable prices. We can do this; we can feed ourselves.

Join me on November 14th at noon for a presentation on the details of how this new food model works and how you will benefit as we get more food produced each year, right here in Spokane County.

What: Lecture by Eden Brightspirit Hendrix on the p.e.a.c.h. Community Food System Model. Free Snacks and samples of Green Smoothies will be provided. When: Saturday November 14th at noon Where: Fresh Abundance 2015 N. Division

I can't believe I didn't mention Green Smoothies last week. I bet you all thought I had a cold or the flu. HA! No way. I believe I will make it through this whole winter without a sniffle and all because I bathe my insides with the liquid sunshine that is Green Smoothie. I had someone come in for her daily Green Smoothie this last week and she said she felt like she was starting to come down with something had that tickle in the back of her throat so she made a bee line to Fresh Abundance and swilled a Green Smoothie and felt just fine the next day. Do you want to learn why Green Smoothies work or how to make them yourself? Then come on down for a Green Smoothie Class. This class is so popular that parks and recreation have signed me up to teach Green Smoothie Classes for their winter class schedule! Before you know everyone will be doing the Green Smoothie thing and no one will be sick ~ what a concept! Healthcare cost go down and there will be dancing in the street. Ok guess I'm getting carried away ~ grin.

What: Green Smoothie Class When: Saturday November 14th at 11 AM Where: Fresh Abundance gluten free kitchen 2015 N Division Cost: $10 in advance or $15 at the door ~ all proceeds go to materials for the build-out of the sprout-house on the p.e.a.c.h. Community Farm where 20,000 bedding plants will be started for the 2010 season.

Speaking of the p.e.a.c.h. Community Farm, plan on coming out to the farm for the groundbreaking and peach tree planting. Come pet the goats!

What: p.e.a.c.h. Community Farm ground breaking and tree planting Where: At the p.e.a.c.h.
