I miss the Sol West Fairs they used to have in John Day. A local organization LaPine Frontier Days is considering establishing a similar event in central Oregon. I suggested they add a Permaculture component to the event. Do you think there would be any interest? They have a 40 acre grass and wooded location with water and camping.

Are you thinking like a Zoom or Facebook live class? Perhaps someone here had experience had Covid online teaching experience and could offer what platform they used. Perhaps there is a homeschooling app or platform that could be used.  I do agree with tone and no pre-planned humor. Things happen live so unforeseen humor is or can be appreciated.

I purchased Kernza whole grain from Perennial Pantry. The grain is quite small as compared to wheat. Germination rate high.  Look for Thinopyrum intermedium at vendors like Great Basin Seeds. Anyone can grow it as long as they don't call it Kernza without permission.

I have started making ginger bug sodas over water kefir this summer. Either one gives me that carbonated cold drink that is so good after a hot day outside. The ginger bug method slightly less work than water kefir. Even though I use crystallized ginger sometimes in the water kefir ferment the ginger bug gives the drink a stronger ginger bite when finished.

Just learned about molasses and rust removal. Who knew, molasses and H2O and then use the remaining fluid as fertilizer.

Have you considered zucchini flour? My wife has celiac issues and Amish flour aka zucchini flour is easy to make and a gluten free low carb flour. It gives you something to do with all those extra zukes.

Logan it's a fine line where political thinking belongs in the Cider Press, But I agree with you. I think that "Legacy" should be somewhere in our permaculture thinking. Planning on "Permanence".  Society has yet to embrace Permaculture as much as I'd like to see. But then again I am not a society driven soul, I'll take the tougher road to attain my goals. They call it founder syndrome in some cases where someone starts a business/organization and expects it to follow lockstep or close to the vision to the his/her/founder's dream. I would hope that Paul's efforts continue in the vein that we currently enjoy but without the charismatic leaders, property, owners that start things once they are gone or have moved on the next leaders will hopefully carry the torch as started, creating the "Legacy".
