I am so inspired by your blog and homestead — I found it while searching for ways to fund a homestead or minifarm coop. I am taking a course at UCLA to learn how to write proposals to foundations, but finding the right niche is taking a lot of time. Can you tell us of sources for funding to purchase “bricks and mortar” items such as land and buildings as well as edible landscaping, tools, hydroponic or french intensive garden supplies, greenhouses, trestle tables, etc? We don’t want to take out loans, we would like to establish a non-profit foundation and have a number of eligibility statuses. We can make it a wellness coop, so it falls under the health and helping the disabled category. Or an educational group. Or a sustainable ecological village sort of thing.

Any clues would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone know if the vermiculture demonstration was a part of the April 8 Kale Force meeting, or, is it still coming up on the second Wednesday of May?

Thank you.

If you ever want to read a reader’s feedback , I rate this post for four from five. Detailed info, but I have to go to that damn yahoo to find the missed parts. Thanks, anyway!

Thanks, Mike. Please keep us up to date on your efforts down your way. There have been rumblings about mounting an effort to challenge/change the bylaws here in Powell River, but so far no one has stepped forward to champion it. Maybe in 2009…

I live in Sechelt, and I’m working on a project to permit a limited number of chickens at residences within the city. Tentatively, this would be 5 chickens (no roosters), which would have to be kept indoors, within a prescribed distance away from neighbours. I found an interesting website which purports to list many of the municipalities with laws on the subject of chickens being raised.

Hellow fellow Seed-savers!

Nice photo of the garden, David.

As follow-up to that hands-on fall, seed-saving tour,
David, Doug and myself(Wendy) are moving forward with a seed-saving project for 2009. Stay tuned for details.

Hi,

I was looking for information on the Good Food Box Program and found good information on your site. Just wanted to mention that you have a wrong phone number listed for Family Place…it says 495-2706 and it should be 485-2706. Thank you!
