Hi all, Thanks to those of you who came out to our One Straw AGM on the weekend ... we had great participation!  We aim to have the minutes up on the website by this weekend for those of you who were unable to attend: AGM 2012.

Remember our Farm Gate Market is this Thursday, as always at the Roberts Creek Hall from 3 - 6 pm.  This week featuring:  Promised Land Farm, Dragonfly Seeds, SunCreek Farm, and the Flour Peddler.  Consider bringing home some delicious curry from Rashmi too:  Curry in the Creek.

It's often hard to find fun stuff to do in February, and that rain can start to get you down, no matter how good it is for the land ... so if you're needing some stimulation, check out these great classes offered by our Live and Learn program mentors:
