Mark Sturgess's presentation "Healthy Soil Makes Healthy Food" was well attended, and he and his good versus soil demonstration held people even after he was done speaking. The next lecture in our series is Zoe Ida Bradbury, speaking on "Building Regional Food Systems". She will be speaking at 6 pm, Wednesday, May 21 at Colette's - 3229 Broadway Ste H, North Bend OR.
“What are the social, environmental and economic reasons that regional food systems make sense? We’ll explore the how and why of building regional food networks and discuss what we need for a regional food system to thrive on the South Coast”.
Zoe Bradbury is an organic farmer and freelance writer in Langlois. She grows asparagus, raspberries, orchard fruit, and mixed produce for local markets. Before breaking ground on her own land, Zoe spent three years co-managing Sauvie Island Organics, a diversified fresh market farm.
This is the second lecture of Ground to Globe: Conversations about Food – a collaborative effort between Colette’s: Good Food + Hungry Minds and Oregon Community Action. Oregon Coast Community Action believes that by supporting a local food system we are supporting a healthy community.
Saturday will be the fifth in our singer/songwriter series, featuring James Hurley, who traded rodeo for a guitar and music. He has a beautiful voice, and we expect a wonderful show to rival the first four in our series. The performance starts at 7:30 pm and Saturday, May 24. Door charge will be $10, which will all go to the artist. Come enjoy the festivities.
