Hey Jay-
Thanks for digging into some of the resources we're trying to get out there!
Lisa DePiano (one of the founders of the Montview Neighborhood Farm) was just up here last week for our Yestermorrow Permaculture class.
She'll also be joinin...
Looking forward to hearing and seeing what comes out of this group.
Digging through the information at the link to www.northeasternpermaculture.wikispaces.com provided by Keith Morris I was inspired by a couple of the listings, Montview Neighborh...

- Hi Keith,
Thanks for the heads up on the event Holyoke. Unfortunately I will be away that weekend.
Though your reply and reference to Eric Toensmeier's garden in downtown Holyoke helped to make another connection for me as I work with an associate of his, Jonathan Bates. You may know him from the Edible Forest workshop he did this past summer at Yestermorrow. He and I both work for the Center for Ecological Technology (CET). He works in the Northamption, MA (now Florence, MA) office and I work in the Pittsfield.
I work as an Energy Star and LEED for Homes green building rater in Western Mass, New York, Connecticut and Vermont.
I'm always interested in talking with Jonathan about gardening but have yet to get by his garden. Perhaps I can get him to give me a personal tour.
Thanks again

Emily Kaminsky said… - Keith, Thanks for the heads up on the Salvation Farms event on Food Not Lawns. I'm trying to figure out the best way to connect my Barre-Based group of people (although there will hopefully be a Montpelier contingent and others getting involved) connected to these other opportunities and movements (if they are). Do you know of any other efforts to get people - in a coordinated fashion - turning their lawns into gardens? If so, I'd love to connect with them. Then, it sounds like it might make sense to have a workshop or two here in Barre - perhaps at LACE with you and/or Mark Krawcyk (sp? sorry!). Perhaps there could be a nice series of conversations scheduled at LACE in May and June as we head into the growing season.

Beth said… - hey kieth :)
i felt that monday went really well. we had a lot of great discussions about our vision for hardwick, all of which i tried to fit into the summary... a daunting task, but i think i got the gist of it :)
as i was perusing my latest yestermorrow class schedule, it occured to me that they should be linked to the transition vt site, if they're not already (i haven't browsed around a whole lot yet -it's possible i just missed them). y'all are teaching the skills so many involved in the transition initiative are wanting to know!!
i hope you're well, and we'll keep you updated as to when the next meeting will be, in case you're wanting and are able to attend :)
take care ~beth

Jeri Helen said… - Hi Keith,
I told Ben that I'd email you and Mark about the upcoming meeting for the Village Building Convergence in Montpelier. But since you've already added yourself to the group perhaps you know about it already. I hope you'll want to join the steering committee - there's already lots of momentum for the event. Pretty exciting.
Hey - is that you snowkiting in the photo?? I'm actually having my first lesson this Saturday afternoon - I can't wait!

Cj Sloane said… - Hi Keith.
I'm interested in having someone draw up a plan that will quality for the land use program. I thought it had to be done by a certified forester, but I guess that's incorrect.
I have 125 acres in Wallingford, off Creek Road, basically all forested. Over the past year, we've added different kinds of animals and I've been trying to incorporate permaculture ideas into my little "farm".
If you're interest let me know how to proceed, including your fee.
Thanks -cj

Alec Hill said… - Great to hear from you. I'm stoked to see you comment at the Bioregional Bulletin. (I'll let Chris know.) I'm stoked to be in touch... through the internet is better than not at all!

George Lisi said… - Great! And please add this great content to the Workshop discussion in the Nut Group(!) when you've got a minute:
"...From there, we get into breeding and selection: cold hardiness, cracking quality, taste, moving important plants north with climate change, etc.!"
Weee-hoo! George ~
