Gates open at Noon on Friday Sep 14– Come early to set up your camp and help us create the event.
Remember-This is a COMMUNITY CREATED EVENT. We will provide the infrastructure and logistical planning-YOU provide the knowledge. ALL SKILL LEVELS ENCOURAGED. This gathering will offer local permaculturists, farmers, gardeners, activists, and others a chance to spend a weekend sharing skills, making connections, and learning. We are asking a $20 donation to cover food, toilets, and site rental.

If you plan to facilitate a workshop or skillshare, please let us know what you want to talk about and how much time you need. Also let us know if you need anything like power, projector, etc. We plan to have workshops all day Saturday and half of Sunday.

We are also asking folks to bring items from their gardens for the kitchen. We will be asking for volunteers to help with meal cleanups and prep. Signup will be available at the Kitchen
Camping- The site has RV accommodations (please RSVP) and tent sites spread throughout. Bring a tent(duh!), clothes for the weather, and anything you need for the weekend. We also ask you to bring a chair (for sitting!) and your own cup. Please don't bring your dog!
Skillshares- This is a Community Created Event! We are all experts at something, right?
