Went to visit a "Community Farm" today in my town.
The farm is completely run by volunteers. All food produced goes into the local food bank, free fridges, and similar.
They had a goal of harvesting 60,000 lbs ( ~27,000 kg) this year.
They've already reached that goal.
Now they're pushing for 100,000 lbs ( ~45,000 kg) by the end of the year.

We are officially back on WWOOF! We are accepting inquiries for visits beginning in September of this year and through May of next. We'd love to see you if you're interested in learning more about land stewardship, food production, or permaculture-based cultivation.

Warming up the home with the oven… at the front a quiche with greens and mushroom from the community farm and the “fish fillets” are aubergine fillets… too bad i forgot the seaweed in the panko crust to give it a sea flavor… still good.

I’m not a vegan but Derek’s amazing recipies will certainly help me cut back further on meat consumption.

#Degrowth and the Unmaking of #Capitalism
By Giuseppe Feola, Olga Koretskaya, originally published by Degrowth.info
December 7, 2020"Our societies are facing multiple interconnected challenges, which include #ClimateEmergency, an unprecedented loss of #biodiversity, growing #inequality and #PlasticPollution. What connects these challenges is the underlying capitalist economic model, which prioritizes #profit-making over #wellbeing and requires endless #EconomicGrowth simply to stay afloat.
"Degrowth offers an alternative vision – it is a project of urgent and fundamental transformation. Degrowth requires reimagining our societies from the perspective of being profit-centred to being wellbeing-centred. This approach distinguishes degrowth from other, more compromising visions of transformation, such as ‘green growth’. But how can society transition towards degrowth?
"One idea that has become prominent in thinking about such a transition is that of ‘#decolonization of the imaginary’, a concept developed by Serge Latouche. This concept signals the need for a disruption of taken-for-granted ways of seeing the world, and their associated practices, rules and social norms. Decolonization of the imaginary questions deeply rooted beliefs about who we are, how we live, and about our place in this world. Are we merely self-interested individuals or are we also care-oriented members of communities? To what extent do technology and #consumption contribute to human wellbeing? Does our constantly expansive economy threaten human communities and the natural world?
"Decolonization of the imaginary has been an inspirational idea for scholars and activists alike. Yet, it alone seems to be insufficient to take us to fully grasping the depth of disruptions of capitalism that have been produced by initiatives such as transition towns, #permaculture farms, and #RepairCafes. Decolonization of the imaginary emphasises the symbolic dimensions of social change but it underplays the material dimensions of such change. It is also usually understood as an end point, and hence fails to help us to recognize – and learn about – what happens along the way.
"How can we think about the processes by which disruptions of capitalism occur in broader, deeper and more dynamic ways? Is it possible for us to better capture what is going on in concrete initiatives?
"In a recent article, Giuseppe Feola proposes that we think about the disruption of capitalism in terms of ‘#unmaking’. He suggests that an unmaking of capitalism is not only necessary, but possibly pre-conditional for a transformation of the magnitude and nature required by degrowth. ‘Unmaking’ refers to individual or collective actions of disengagement or active deconstructions of existing capitalist systems that ‘make space’ for alternatives. Such actions could take the form of a personal decision to limit consumption or to quit a high-paying job at an #OilCorporation. Unmaking can also be recognized in a #CommunityFarm that refuses to submit to market pressure to expand production and instead turns to a #CommunitySupported model to sustain itself."

@gentlegardener - Oh that's wonderful! If you ever want to get hooked up into Fredericksburg proper and meet folks here let me know. Being an hour away there might be something closer in your neck of the woods.
I *believe* there's some sort of food rescue at the farmer's market here in town, for example, but I'm not sure who is handling that right now. (There are a lot of initiatives in and around the area, so I'm sorting out where the holes are, for example)
There's also a new community farm that donates all of the food grown to various mutual aid and food security initiatives in town. I imagine there's a lot of coordination and support opportunities there as well.

When meeting with some of the volunteers for the free fridge I learned about a NEW thing in town!
We have a farm that is run by volunteers that is specifically designed to fill our food bank and pantries!!!!
It's a community farm!!!
We have a community farm!!!
Check this out: https://www.rappahannockfarm.org
I'm going to a meeting here in an hour to meet them and see what they're doing.
I need to sort out how I can scale out my hydroponic builds throughout the town. By things in bulk and sell kits at cost to folks. Help them build it.
Having a community farm AND folks growing hydroponics indoors will be huge in pushing food out into our town.

When we used to brew our beer on #WindmillHillCityFarm, all our used grain was added to the animals feed rather than thrown away. We continue to do this as part of our sustainable ethos, even though we've moved a little farther away up the hill to #Totterdown.
This is the leftover grain from this weeks lager brew (coming soon) which we took down to the farm on Wednesday morning. Another brew planned next week too.

“An outdoor village hall” - that's the vision of Transition Town Dorchester's community farm.
This week, they launched a new partnership with mental wellbeing charity Dorset Mind, so adults & children they support have a peaceful space to grow food and be in nature.

It is hard to convey the bubbling up of inspiration, connection and energy at our North West regional gathering this weekend!
We were joined by several Transition groups in the area, and many others working for transformative change through growing, community, politics, business, education and more.
Wow, it felt good to connect, be together, share our work and our challenges, and soak up the rich conversations at the beautiful Greenslate Farm, a lush, green, lively community space where everyone is made welcome, a glimpse of how things could be everywhere!
Rob Hopkins took us to 2030 in his portable time machine, and we felt a different world on the horizon, a more spacious, restful one, with enough for everyone, where we can trust and lean on each other, birdsong, insect buzz and recovery for us and for nature. Importantly, we asked how we tell new stories of what's possibly, creating longing for a future we haven't yet reached, and invite new people to help us shape it.
Many threads to reflect on and weave into our future work! We'd love to hear what you got out of it, and what the future holds for you!

An old #farm on River Road is being #reborn as a farm supporting #Black , #Indigenous , and #PeopleOfColor in #WindhamCounty .
Last year, Amber Arnold and Naomi Doe Moody, founders of #SUSU #commUNITYFarm , signed a #lease for the former #MapleRowFarm , consisting of 37 acres on the #WestRiver .

I’m just learning about this. One thing I gather is that there has been hardly any public input, set to ram through a vote with 5 days notice over a holiday weekend, on the future of the #Waltham #CommunityFarm. Thank you @athorn & @timmc for sounding the alarm. More info here:
