there's been so much going on since the last newsletter!
2 things in this newsletter:
We are (almost certainly) buying the farm!
potluck this friday 12-7-12

We have been renting 3 acres this year, up from our 1 acre our first year, and now we are trying to buy 11 acres.
to avoid confusion, this is 11 acres right where we are, which includes everything you thought of as mustard seed farm and 8 acres more. We are very excited about this, and very grateful! There's a lot to say about this, and we'll try to send you a more informative, more interesting email very soon. also, if you would like to read an illustrated version of all this info, we can send you this fall's issue of the paper (through the postal service) or a more boring business plan. Our landlords have agreed to sell the land, we are looking for help with financing.
If you are interested in helping - we are looking for interest free loans, donations, or early sign ups for a 2014 CSA share - please give me a call if you have any interest in these things. 515-460-1467. i'd also be happy to answer any questions.

more info coming soon.

Next Potluck: Social Justice and Education
The next potluck will be Friday, December 7th, with a 6 PM dinner and a 7 to 8 PM discussion.
The location will be 704 Duff Ave, Ames, IA, 50010.
As always, the public is open to the public, so feel free to invite anyone.
This Friday's potluck will be guided by Chris Fowler, of the Margaret Sloss Women's house, and we'll talk about the impact education has on reinforcing or perpetuating inequality, and other issues surrounding social justice and education.

peace, and gratitude
Alice
