with Rachel Tinker-Kuhlberg & Mike Yablonski -
The Plant - 9am-2pm
During this hands-on workshop, Mike and Rachel will show you how to build your own backyard system. Just add plants, fish and water and you will be taking another step down the path to self reliance!
Sunday, Oct 19 Drink 'n Think: Cocktail Alchemy F�te Colbey Reid & Gary Phillips
The Plant - 4-6pm This Fair Game Drink n' Think session will enact a comparative religious history of the alchemical traditions implicit in the distilling of spirits and mixing of cocktails. The very word "cocktail" originated, in 1803, from descriptions in the Farmers Cabinet of a concoction of spirits, bitters, and sugar ostensibly consumed as a hangover remedy.
Saturday, Oct 25
Raising Rabbits for Meat
with Mary DeMare & Dan Shields- Fatty Owl Farm, 10am-3pmThe Basic Rabbitry workshop is designed for homesteaders or
just anyone who wants to rely less on commercially produced meat. Twodoes and a buck can provide enough meat for a family of 4-6. Rabbitmeat is healthy, lean and very low impact. With the manure you can fertilize your garden and with the fur you can make warm stuff!
Sunday, Dec 7 Prohibition & Repeal Day Party The Plant - 4-6pm This workshop explores what Prohibition reveals about the cultural energies and desires brought into greater relief through repression. That is: Prohibition, a historical episode, actualized a philosophical attitude. Tonight we'll endeavor to understand that attitude by examining its origins and antitheses in a thinking and drinking party that commemorates the Repeal of the Volstead Act on December 5, 1933.
