Seeds and Seedfolk

Please join us for an afternoon together on Saturday, August 15, at Homecoming Seeds at Flytree Farm in Northfield. Our hope is that we can find time in our busy lives - when it seems we’re bursting with things to do and the plants are finding ways to stun us once again with their beautiful displays of abundance—to gather together as farmers, growers, and seed admirers to share a meal and some casual conversation.

The Skinny Pancake is looking for opportunities to co-package or collaborate to better utilize our remarkable commissary in Winooski. We have a strong team there and they are hungry for growth. So, we're putting the word out that we're looking to expand our use of the space beyond just food production for The Skinny Pancake. See attached flyer.
 
Are you a farmer looking to minimally or fully process food? Are you a food producer in need of a larger facility or considering ways to outsource your work? We would be thrilled to find a way to use this great space and strong team to process food for other participants in our local food system. This could be minimally processing raw veggies, fully processing meals ready to eat or beyond. We could also explore sub-leasing the space during the afternoons or weekends in the right context. We have a loading doc and cold chain distribution available from the facility. 

If this sounds like it could be helpful for your business or someone you know, please reach out!

Technology for Agroecology

This webinar will explore the evolving landscape of agricultural technology and assess challenges and opportunities for agroecological farmers. We will look at real world case studies of community-led innovation and reflect on ways to support community sovereignty over technologies. We will also discuss the importance of challenging approaches that may reinforce existing inequities or create new harms of industrial agriculture.

Federal Funding Rules Are Changing: What You Need to Know

The federal government is rewriting the rules around applying for and receiving grants and other financial assistance from USDA and other agencies. The proposed changes would make the process more political, more administratively burdensome, more confusing, and less reliable. We’ll walk through the most critical points for the farm and food system community.  Farm Commons will share its organizational perspective on how the rule changes shape our organization’s decision-making around federal grants.
