10/10/10 Work Party
As part of the October 10th (10/10/10) day of local action to prevent global climate change, Transition Northfield and Spring Wind Farm are organizing a Work Party, including a Chicken Coop Workshop (help build or just watch), apple pressing for cider, garlic planting information, and more.
This event is on Sunday, October 10 from Noon to 4:30 pm (or 9:30 am to 4:30 pm for coop building). The location is 912 Winona St, Northfield. Click here for details. We hope to see you there!
Great weather–great event. We gathered at 9:30 a.m. for introductions and instructions; by dark a chicken coop with three chickens was set up in the backyard. Through the course of the day, dozens of folks observed this terrifically practical structure emerge, while sipping squash soup and pressing apples. In the afternoon, several trees were moved to make room for a bed of garlic and a sugar maple.
Thanks to the efforts of the hard-working event organizers, our town now has 10 more people qualified to assist in coop building. Yahoo–fresh eggs.
